Travelling Minions in 2020

ByTravelling Minion January 3, 2021 1 Comment
Probably like everyone else on the planet, 2020 did not go as planned. Back at the start of the year I originally intended to take two major trips with the opportunity for smaller ones in between. Unfortunately, with this global pandemic, I only embarked on one trip early in 2020. I debated whether a year in review this year would be very worthwhile given that most of the year I spent at home....

Wrapping up Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan

Wow, how does one wrap up what really feels like three separate trips all packed into one?! It feels so long ago eating laksa in Singapore, black water rafting in New Zealand or visiting night markets in Taiwan. With the world turned upside down, I have been (very) slowly blogging and am finally through the trip (from almost a year ago now!) If you have read through all of it, Thank you! Though...

Perth We start off where I left off from the previous post. After parting ways with Gimpy in Auckland, I end up in Perth where I spend the night (At the airport) before taking multiple flights to Taiwan the next day.

Next stop: Sydney, Australia! One of the primary reasons for this trip is to attend 'Physio's' wedding! I visited Physio back in 2017 when he moved to Australia for school. More on that trip here. He ended up meeting someone and is now tying the knot. I'm excited to receive an invitation and attend! But first, I'd need to get there.  SilverKris Lounge Thankfully, because of the choice to stay...

Last day in Singapore

Last Day in Singapore Today is my last full day in Singapore and I wanted to spend half of it at the airport. In a previous trip through Singapore Changi Airport I was amazed at how much there was to do there. I wanted to ensure I had enough time to explore it all. So for my last night, I booked a hotel at the airport itself so I didn't have to transit back and fourth just to visit the airport....

Singapore Day 2 (Food and Gardens by the Bay)

The goal today is to try some signature food Singapore has to offer and then head to the Gardens by the Bay in the evening. My first stop was to visit Killiney Kopitiam again for a Kopi Coffee, which as I've read is a traditional Singaporean coffee. Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice After a caffeine fix, I make my way to the Maxwell Food Centre which is home to the famous Hainanese Chicken rice...
