Singapore Stopover, Singapore, Singapore

Living in Australia means getting anywhere in the world can take a LONG time. When travelling to Europe I highly recommend a Singapore stopover to break up your long haul trip.

It鈥檚 easy to get around Singapore as the train network (MRT) runs like clockwork and buses are frequent.聽For about $10 鈥� $20 (SGD) you can buy a Singapore Tourist Pass for unlimited bus and train rides for 1, 2 or 3 days from Changi Airport, TransitLink Ticket Offices, or online. While it鈥檚 easy to get a bus or train, I usually opt for a Taxi as they鈥檙e fast, comfortable, convenient and relatively cheap, not to mention you can gaze out the window at the beautiful, vibrant pink/purple Singapore Orchards lining the streets. It鈥檚 also a great way get recommendations from the driver that you might not find in travel guides. A taxi from Changi Airport to the city will usually cost around $25-$30.

This time around we stayed at The New Majestic Hotel,聽conveniently located just a few minutes from the Maxwell Food centre in Chinatown. Built in 1890, this Colonial building is one helluva modern boutique hotel. Walking into the lobby feels like you just entered an art gallery, with installations and funky design furniture pieces, it鈥檚 no surprise that each room in the hotel is eccentric and stylishly decorated with different themes. ......
