Our lives and travels
After a hearty breakfast, we explored Edinburgh's Old Town, marvelling at its unique topography and architecture along the Royal Mile. We visited notable sites like Adam Smith's Close and the Real Mary King's Close tour.

Activities included visiting temples, shopping malls, and a cat café. They experienced mixed dining encounters, from delectable pastries to disappointing dim sum. Their exit included a visit to a Buddhist nunnery before returning home.

I'm jealous. We then decided that we were going to go to the Marina Bay ArtScience … Continue reading Singapore Day Seven – Titanic
Our adventure continues by us shopping... lots and lots of shopping... too much shopping. What else can we say? We like our shopping! We have uploaded the pictures, they're pretty self-explanatory. The highlight was going to see Chronical at the Cinemas (only S$8!) and a giant avocado. We'll have to leave it at that because … Continue reading Singapore Days Four, Five and Six
