Weekend at Sentosa

Day 1 - 21 Mar

Arrived at the Amara Sanctuary Resort Hotel at 2:45pm. We were checked in by 3pm. As usual, Ash's first task was to "test"out the bed.

We finally settled at 4pm and decided to head down to Palawan beach for some fun in the sand, which was a short 5 min walk downhill (note that it is downhill, meaning that to get back to the hotel, it was uphill). We were glad to see that Koufu and 7-11 were just some of the beach front conveniences located there.

I've come to realise that my daughter isn't much of a beach person, although you can't really tell that from the photos. She'd step gingerly on the sand, want to wash her hands because there was sand, wash her spade because there was sand, wash her pail because there was sand, wash everything because there was sand on it ! Majority of kids will love the water, not Ash. She was afraid of the "big" wave splashing at her feet.

Dinner was at Koufu. Later that evening we took a stroll down to the Beach Station and explored the Imbiah Lookout - that's where the Merlion is situated. Managed to capture a night shot of the Merlion.
