Today we decided to spend some time exploring Sentosa Island. I'd been disappointed that we hadn't been able to do the cable car on our last trip, so we thought we'd start with that. First though, was breakfast at our favourite little food court
After breakfast we caught the train to Sentosa. I didn't know exactly where the cable car station was, but we managed to find it quite easily following the signs. We were surprised to see a huge line at a window just before we left the train station area, and we thought it might be the line for the cable car tickets. Turns out it was just the line for train tickets! We wondered why on earth all those people didn't just use the ticket machines
Eventually we found the real cable car ticket office and bought our return tickets. The tickets included a trip up the mountain behind the cable car station as well as across to the island. We decided to go to the island first, and made our way up in the lift to that platform. The lift was cool, all glass, and we got a great view going up.
Most of the cable cars that came through from the mountain had people in them who wanted to continue on to the island, so even though we were the only ones in line, we still had a bit of a wait.
Eventually we got into our car, and set off across to the island. We enjoyed views of the island, shipping yards, city, and even people sunbathing naked on cruise ships docked in the area
When we got to the island station, we decided to stop at the Starbucks there for coffees before continuing our exploration. It took forever to get the coffees! This peacock was waiting in line for the viewing tower at the station.
We decided that we'd had enough views from the cable car. And the views from the station weren't bad either.
When we finished our coffees, we headed down the hill. All the escalators going down the hill reminded me of Universal Studios LA. There were all sorts of other attractions going down, but we decided none were worth an additional cost.
Dad was keen on the idea of riding a few rollercoasters, so we headed towards Universal Studios. Mum enjoyed some of the shops on the way.
Once at the gates, we spent a while trying to decide whether it was worth heading into Universal. They really need to sell a half day ticket there
We ended up deciding that it would be worth it, because let's face it, rides are always fun
It helped that the rest of our trip was going to be relatively budget friendly
will be back there again soon and you guessed it, just going to see the inside of the airport again, I always want to maximise my time in Europe hence me not making the time, but I may just have to think again, next time...
