Sentosa Island Has Its Own Flavor
Posted on December 9, 2009 - Filed Under Travel
After leaving our hotel and having breakfast, we headed to the conveniently located MRT station across the road. We stopped off at the Harbour Front, we weren’t too sure as what there was to do there, but we’ve read about it, so we thought we’d check it out. We noticed there was a cable car located up a nearby hill traveling across the water to a nearby island. We found out that is was Sentosa Island, which is Singapore’s version of Disneyland. This sounded fun, so we decided to walk up the hill, instead of spending money on a taxi to take us there.
This was ill planning on our part, the day was hot and we had no water. But, eventually we made it to the top and stopped to appreciate the great view we had of Singapore. We were on Mount Faber. After a brief rest and some much needed re-hydration, we took the short trip to the cable car station and purchased tickets to ride it to Sentosa. The view from the cable car was even more spectacular that the summit of Mt. Faber.
We found Sentosa Island not to be anything like Disneyland, but it did have its own flavor. We had no idea there were Singapore Sentosa hotels here or other wise we would’ve book a room for the night in order to full appreciate all the attractions here and we thought this place probably looked fantastic at night. Our first stop was the Carlsberg Tower, this gave us a panoramic view of the city. We explored the area carefully, because we didn’t want to spend all of our budgeted money here on the island, which we could easily do. We ended up doing the forest trail, which was very fun, but mosquito city, so we ended up with many bites as we emerged from the trail. It was getting dark, we were torn about staying to see this place all lit up at night, or head back to Singapore, Singapore won out and we took the cable car back, walked back down Mt. Faber, took the MTR back to our hotel and proceeded to crash on our beds. Tomorrow was ‘Shopping’ day on the famous Orchard Road.
