Adventures in Singapore

Foosball before we head out into the day

Give Eat Happy: Our Singapore mantra!

Always intriguing back yards to peer into

Gully only just made it through without a ticket!

Travelling on the subway was lots of fun.  We never had long to wait for a train and could go so many places.

The food was incredible. As long as we had a matchbox car and some not-too-spicy options, Gully was content to sit with us and explore. Here we are for exquisitely delicious Murtabak at Zam Zams

Travelling to Singapore

Off on a big jet plane at 9am to arrive at 3pm Singapore time.

Plenty of activities on the plane to keep busy

Gulls falls asleep and mum and dad get a break to read their books.

We arrive and get our first glimpses of a truly multicultural city in a new country.


We stayed in Little India. A gorgeous place with great character.

Our hotel room at Wanderlust was forest-themed and had a steep staircase to a loft where mum and dad slept. the leaves on the roof were made of felt. What a magical home to arrive to.

Art show

Gully figured out how to start his train this morning and sat in rapt joy as it went whizzing about--as did the rest of the family.

Jumping up and down on the couch at day care with his mate Eloise

Then the whole family went to eat at the sushi train restaurant before heading to the day care art show. What an artist Gully is! Great fun for the whole family and so much effort from our carers.

Kids had a great time being out at night


Plus naughty and delicious cakes to eat. What a day!
