SINGAPORE - Sentosa Island, Mount Faber and Fort Siloso by Cable Car
In this video we visit Mount Faber, Sentosa Island and Fort Siloso by Cable Car. On Mount Faber we discover that romance isn't dead and enjoy spectacular views across Singapore. We then continue our cable car journey to Sentosa Island which is home to many attractions such as Universal Studios, Madame Tussauds, Luge, Indoor Skydiving and other paid attractions. We also let you know what you can enjoy for free on the island and take you to Fort Siloso which is a very fascinating place. It has lots of information and history presented in a brilliant way.

    Thank you for a well balanced review. I cant believe the rudeness of some of the comments and the personal nature of them; and the people making them seem to think they have class! I didnt find you were negative at all, in fact in view of the standards you experienced i thought you were actually quite positive. We have a cruise booked for 2 weeks around the med on qm2, and like yourselves we will make our own conclusions based on our experience. Not sure what Cunard is hoping to achieve with these short cruises? As stated in the comments the price per day is cheap but if the experience is poor people are very unlikely to rebook for a longer cruise. Hopefully it has been a short term staffing issue and things will improve. Looking forward to watching mire of your reviews and replies to 'those' comments 😅

    Excellent video as always. It was interesting to learn the facts about Lichfield. I always like to visit the fish and chip shop at the end of Southend Pier but they charge around £14 (and there is no drink included either!) I expect that some of this cost is due to the fact that they have to transport the food from the shore to the pier head and there isn't much competition at the end of the pier. They are popular though, especially in the warm weather!

However give the crack heads time to rise n shine and you will see the real decay of West Bromwich. A sorry excuse of a town, main part just consists of piss heads on benches contributing zero to society, shops selling absolute tat. Definitely revise this and you do a night tour with night vision camera, carter's green makes you want to carry a knife for protection which just for the record I DO NOT PROMOTE!

    I will be cruising on QM2 from Southampton to NYC next year, it is the only ocean liner, its iconic, I am not expecting much from the service or food. I cruised on the Queen Elizabeth and the service and food were mediocre.. Great video.

      Thank you. We absolutely loved QM2 herself as our ship tour shows. However, we agree that the food and the service in the main dining room was sub par on our sailing. I hope you have a fabulous voyage in 2025, and that Cunard can up their game for you! Thanks for watching 👍

    I meet up with friends once a month at Wetherspoons, and I’m sure I pay about £11.50 for fish and chips including a pint. I must be ordering from their “fine dining” menu 😂 Mind you, I see that if I book a cruise with Marella, I’ll get two more chips than at Wetherspoons !

    Hi guys , me and the Mrs went on Discovery 2 recently and thoroughly enjoyed the fish and chips from the Snack Shack and we thought that they were a little better than what we have had from Spoons , and while we were in the lifts on the ship we tried the ..LIFT DISCO ..unfortunately we haven't quite got it sussed out as we kept getting caught between floors and no one wanted to join in when we asked them , we have had a good laugh with the ..Lift Disco .. but we think that you guys should put it out there a little more so that normal folk like me and the Mrs don't keep getting looked at like a couple of berks ..even though we are .

    • @TravellingLightLisa
      @TravellingLightLisa 14 днів тому

      @alan3755 Lol! That has made us laugh. The fish and chips on ships can be variable but Spoons is generally fairly consistent. Don't worry about making a fool of yourselves with lift disco! We often get caught out in mid-dance when the doors open 😂 Thanks for watching 👍

    Exactly: The Bilbao Effect, not -The Guggenheim Effect-. This could be happening right now with any other museum; in fact, the Bellas Artes Museum holds an impressive collection of art from different periods, artists and Basque art. IMO is the best one in the North and today Norman Foster is working in another expansion. It was the city and the citizens who impulse a new way to exist after de deindustrialisation, the Guggen, that's how we call it in short, was just a piece in the project. The BIG LIE about La Alhóndiga: Phillip Stark was hired when the building/project was almost done. He just add some here and some there. That's all. The original architect was Ricardo Bastida and José Luis Burgos the architect that let, maybe through an imposition, to Starck (he's not an architect) give the last strokes. Tip: if you think you will use public transport several times, buy a Barik card. It costs around 3 euros, you can use it on the metro, bus, local trains, tram, Bizkaia Bridge (Getxo or Portugalete, 2 towns that are part of Greater Bilbao) and the funicular. You will save a good amount of money. For example, the return trip on the funicular today (DEC ‘24) is 4,30 €, with Barik 0,60 each way. There are lots of things to do and see in Bilbao, including the green mountains, going to the coast using the metro, walks, theatre and opera season... and: · SUMMERS with a free Blues Festival, the BBK Live Festival, 10 days of City Festivities... · The Basque culture. Euskara (Basque) is the oldest language in Europe. Even tourist from other parts of Spain or from Latin America can notice the differences with Spain. Some of them get the feel of being in another country. · Basque cuisine is world famous. The concentration of Michelin Stars per capita in the Basque Country is second only to Tokyo. But you don't have to leave your grandmother's inheritance, for 20 euros or less you can have a set menu in hundreds of restaurants. · Move like a local! Go to a bar, order a txakoli, a cider or a beer and try one or two pintxos leaning on the bar. Then go to another bar and another and another. Many bars have their specialities and people go there to eat certain pintxos. If you eat at a fast food chain in the Basque Country, we'll throw you in the estuary headfirst. A North American family asked me for a BK and I almost cried as I told them how to get to a Five Guys. · Some buildings such as the Palacio de la Diputación, the Town Hall or the Arriaga Theatre can be visited with a guide on specific days and times. Bilbao also participates in the ‘Open House’ events. Just come and enjoy! You'll be welcomed!* (*) Except if you are Zionist... Then I recommend that you better go into Gaza dressed as a surgeon and wearing a journalist's helmet. It won't hurt much and the world will be a better place. We already suffer the Franco's Fascism and the terrorist band ETA. We are fed up with abusers, racists, homophobes, fascists, misogynists, etc. You'll see yellow flags in the balconies with a REFUGEES WELCOME! and lots of Ukraine, Western Sahara and Palestine flags as well. Peace!
