When planning our recent trip to Australia, we knew that we would have to plan a stop over to break up our trip. When it was just me and my husband J we would battle through the two long flights and try and find the shortest change over possible making our journey 24 hours. With Baby Girl being just 16 months at the time that we travelled the thought of that brought tears to my eyes.
I started looking around at flights for the dates that we wanted and found some with Singapore Airlines that looked good. It was only then that I started thinking about Singapore as a potential place to visit and after a quick bit of research I was sold so we booked our flights with 3 nights in Singapore on the way to Australia and 2 nights on the way back.
The purpose of our Singapore stay was to relax, lounge by a pool, recover from the first flight and adjust to the time difference. We stayed at
Shangri-La Hotel on our inbound journey and the
Ritz-Carlton on our outbound journey (reviews coming soon).
In my ideal world I had so many things that I wanted to do whilst in Singapore -
Universal Studios,
Singapore Zoo, a day at
Sentosa Island to name a few, but we just didn't have it in us to spend a full day out. I think Baby Girl would have had a melt down too. We decided that we would spend time enjoying our luxurious hotels and when we could, go exploring and experience the best of what Singapore has to offer. It got me thinking, with Singapore being a really common city to have a stop over this must be a common dilemma so I wanted to share a few of the things we did with our time restrictions.
