I don't think I can recollect how many times I have been to Singapore; whether it has been for work or a transit stop, the stops and stays are far too numerous to count. However, I have never holidayed in the city and never contemplated touring a seven year old girl through it.
Together, Teagie and I spent a week wheeling through the streets and shops of Singapore and it now fits, as a destination city, into my "will holiday again" category. We have very good friends living in Singapore so we enjoyed a central location and a built in playmate. For both of us the highlights were: the Cloud Dome (Gardens by the Bay), the Zoo - day visit and a second night safari, and finishing off with High Tea and Raffles.
As an honourable mention - Mr Micro Maxi, deserves accolades! One has now discovered how to keep walking through city streets with a kid in tow (or in this case, in push). Now that the Madam is too old for a stroller we had changed our travel style away from pavement pounding but WOW, a smooth gliding scooter returned me to the walk, with merely a hand on Teagie's back (or under her own power when not on a busy street) we covered some distances!

A few days in Singapore
It is the Easter break for Teagan in Doha and that means "holiday". This year we have handled it a bit differently with a friend and her young son traveling up to Doha for a week from Singapore and then Teagan and me traveling down to Singapore for the second week and it is flying!
Our Singapore time began with purchasing a new scooter - a Micro Maxi. A fabulous replacement for Teagan's beaten-up two wheeled heavy Razor. We have covered what seems likes miles and miles of ground using a scoot / push approach to movement. Needless to say, I have one incredibly happy daughter!
