Sentosa Islanding

One weekend while in Singapore, (and after 2 earlier visits here), I decided finally to go to the only touristy thing to do in Singapore (other than shopping that is!!) and went to Sentosa Island. Even though most of my friends advised me that its not really a place worth visiting,  I still thought of giving it a try. To be honest, I wasn't disappointed. I thought it was a fun place to go to, if you have spare time while in Singapore. Its easy to reach, you can take a cab or just take the MRT and then the monorail to the island.

There are multiple things to do there: sound and light shows, water activities, beach, resorts, theme parks etc. We just ended up going to the Universal Studios and what a fun day we had. For one, we were lucky that someone gave us the express pass which allowed us to go ahead of the line in each rides. Though surprisingly for a Sunday, there wasn't much crowd. Anyways we walked around, did most of the rides and it was fun. The Egypt based rides and the dinosaur rides were very enjoyable. The rollar coaster rides were also pretty scary! Plus there was the kids Disney section which was again the Disney castle along with some cartoon characters walking around, Here are some pictures of the park.




While coming back from the island, we took the cable car (themed on angry birds) which gave a lighted view of the city. Singapore does have a dazzling skyline at night, which I did not know earlier.  Anyways we had a great day, fun and enjoyable. I would definitely suggest going to Sentosa if you ever land up in Singapore. Its almost like a full day hi-fi mela, good for spending a long day outside.
