Time to try out the Sentosa Cable Car Line

Up we go!

Check out the view!

The Sentosa Cable Car Line has three stations; the Merlion Station, Imbiah Lookout Station, and the Siloso Point Station. Each station is strategically located to bring visitors closer to the different unique attractions of the island. 

 Here's a list of some of the places to visit near each station:

Merlion Station

  • Sentosa Merlion
  • Madame Tussauds
Imbiah Lookout Station

  • Madame Tussauds
  • Butterfly Park and the Insect Kingdom
  • Tiger Skytower

Siloso Point Station

  • Siloso Beach
  • Fort Siloso
  • Fort Siloso Skywalk
  • Mega Adventure
When we say round trip, it means you go through all stations once and board down at the same station that you boarded at. You can board down any station before you complete the round trip though but of course, that's a waste of money (better take the free bus ride instead.)

Let's go!

 I got to try out the Sentosa Cable Car Line with my family during our 2017 Singapore -Malaysia tour.  Although the tickets were quite pricey for our budget trip, my wife and I decided to avail of it because it is something that our daughter would surely love to try out. True enough it is worth it looking at my daughter's reactions.
Daddy check out the view here!

Let's have that quick photo for our social media accounts

Overall, don't ride the Sentosa Cable Car Line as a mode of transportation. Treat it as one of the attractions of the island. Again if you want to move around the island without breaking the bank, then look for the bus or tram stops. The bus and tram rides are FREE. Ride the cable car for the experience and the beautiful view.

First Timer's Guide to Collecting Goshuin

Image
Japan has always been the best country when it comes to souvenirs. Each city prides itself on its own product which is perfectly suited for the different tastes of tourists. As a travel blogger whose interest is mostly culture and history, I'm naturally inclined to buy souvenirs that remind me of the rich history and culture of the places that I have visited. Oftentimes, I am left with no other option but to buy refrigerator magnets, key chains, and pins. However, during my last visit to Japan, I discovered and got a unique souvenir that I think you'd also love to take home (and bring back to Japan next time you visit). This souvenir would surely remind you of Japan's cultural, religious, and historic side... this souvenir is none other than a goshuin collection. First Timer's Guide to Collecting Goshuin A goshuin is described as a temple or shrine stamp/seal that is written by a temple priest called a kannushi in a special notebook called goshuincho which tran

Quituinan Hills - Albay

Located at Barangay Tinago, Camalig in the province of Albay, Quituinan Hills is one of the most beautiful yet least known tourist destinations of the town.  Quituinan Hills Quituinan Hills Details For those who have visited Quituinan Hills on a clear day, I bet they'd agree with me when I say that this place is among the top places in the province to view Mayon Volcano. Aside from that, the best way to describe Quituinan Hills is that it has a ranch-like feel. Well, that's probably due to the fact that the developed part of the hill is really a ranch named Quituinan Ranch .  Road to Quituinan Hills Welcome to Quituinan Hills This place is a great location for picnics with friends and family. You can either rent a cottage (small P100; big P500) or bring and pitch a tent (P100 space rental) in one of the allowable areas of the hill.

Japan Diaries 2: Day 5

Day 5 May 21, 2018 Kyoto Adventure (Day 2) We woke up to yet another beautiful day here in Japan . The weather is great, perfect for our planned activities for today.  To familiarize ourselves with the place where we will live for another three days, our plan for today is to have a walking tour around Kyoto Station which is quite near our place. I told my wife that she should be prepared to walk the whole day and I'm happy that she agreed. (Well that's one less problem for me). The Kyoto City Bus Passenger Station < On a side note, my wife has been planning to meet up with Gil, her long-time Filipino friend who happened to have settled in Kyoto City after marrying a Japanese. However, it was a challenge for us to coordinate our moves with her as we did not avail of any pocket WIFIs or roaming numbers for our mobile devices. Regardless, we'd get to meet Gil as the story progresses... > Well, well, well... Look at what we have here! We left our Air Bn
