Holiday in Singapore

 

Last week, I went to Singapore with family. We booked two bedrooms at Hotel Kai. It only took about five minutes from the hotel to The Singapore Flyer. This tourist attraction is the world’s largest observation wheel. From this observation wheel, we saw Singapore River, Marina Bay, Empress Place, Raffles Place, and even Padang which is located in Indonesia. My brother was so ecstatic when we were riding the wheel. I was astonished with the size of the wheel. It was an unforgettable experience.

One afternoon when we were roaming in the hotel, my dad decided to cool off at the swimming pool. We drank Chin Chow and ate fresh fruits. My Mum was busy taking photos.
