Malaysia can have 72 hours visa-free transit and thus do not need to do

Reason.

Change currency: go to the Bank for $ 1000, although aware that SGD Singapore stores you can swipe your card, but think that dotted

Http://www.ctrip.com/community/itinerarywri/showwriting.asp?writing=997762 her trip and I somewhat different, but we're going to Malaysia Penang, she is Langkawi, but I am still very gonglue on useful.

First day:

In the morning at the airport for departure formalities quickly, although in the beginning of the second, but not many people.

We left a trolley case no Office shipping at boarding estuary, we'll take off the heavy coat, on the trunk. Go boarding bridge the road feel a bit cold, but a plane is not cold.

New Airlines plane on time-off, 9 points more often to a hot towel to wipe, feel very warm.

My son had the most works, found the back of the display screen can also play the game. Then had a morning afternoon and dinner.

The Singapore feel hot to 31 degrees here.

The plane will take off his clothes and carry on the lever on the trunk. Then go and get checked luggage. Went to DFS buy sunscreen, in the country didn't buy, think to Singapore to buy can be cheaper, just put the $ 1000 par value of SGD break, the results there because not many people bought, even can't change. Then go to the Hall of MONEY CHANGE, it can be very warm, to replace the small denominations.

And then directly to the TAXI Office called the car was seen gonglue hire a car for around 15 SGD, ctrip's pick is RMB200 element, we lose scheduled pick up.

Morning TAXI is empty, the last is 15 + 3 (airport fee) + 1 (holiday surcharge) = $ 19.

Singapore taxi: Singapore vehicles are left to exercise.

The fundamental drivers will speak Chinese. The bus had to wear a seatbelt, every day after 5: 00 pm to 1 SGD, taxi starting fee of $ 3, $ 3.4, 3.8 element, I just don't understand. There are a lot of drivers are the elderly, the Singapore Government requires the taxi driver can open to a 73-year-old.

The airport to the city's traffic: you can take the subway, but our luggage, also gave

Accommodation: Hotel in Orchard Road, Orchard Road 446, walk to the subway and WISMA, ngee Ann city and other large shopping centre 10 minutes or so, I think it's very convenient.

There is a swimming pool, breakfast for two included, subsequently confiscated child's breakfast fare, we added a small bed. According to the introduction, I direct gonglue asked the front desk to the North building of large numbers of rooms. Hotels in South and North, the South face of Orchard Road, a little noisy, North Building quiet, looking out the window is the swimming pool.

Lunch: wanted WISMA upstairs pod generation eating, but since the new year, here are closed, in the airport I heard new year's days will have nothing to eat, Chinese new year are back.

Had to go to McDonald's for a $ 30, three people.

Afternoon activities: called the taxi to go to the SGD Singapore Botanic Garden, 5. Drivers do not know the Botanical Garden, NATIONAL GARDEN, after, he knew the

Singapore Botanic Garden is free, but there is a $ 5 mandai Orchid Garden, tickets, children under 12 free of charge, it is better than us this, not according to height.

Originally wanted to go to Clarke Quay in the evening for dinner, but because the weather here is boring, we think it is too hot, uncomfortable and don't want to get somewhere. Decided to return to the hotel to go swimming.

We follow the Park's national walk back to the hotel and spent 30 minutes.

Evening activities: walking along Orchard Road, found a lot of shops are closed, only 8 points.

Then see the store's tips, every Sunday evening only open until 8: 30, there's really very humane, maybe you want to take care of salespersons, they also have the right to rest, it was the beginning of the second, also on holiday. Had to go to a "happy tea house" restaurant, point out some of the dishes, to $ 100, hyper-expensive, but those snack bar are closed, have no choice.

Second day:

Morning activities:

Shop-in-the-door in the morning of 10 points, we eat breakfast after shopping, to the ship's captain's dinner, the three of us each bought a pair of shoes, not from home with out, anyway, be out shopping kaolao themselves.

My leather shoes for $ 69. Back to son bought a white shirt and Red tie. My own clothes just don't have time to buy. Transact in ngee Ann city may drawback, invoice and passport to the 2nd floor of the counter register. In return, to the airport tax refund Department seal, then you can get cash.

Afternoon activities:

SHOPPING stuff back in the hotel, breakfast, would be in no hurry to lunch.

Call a TAXI to go to merlion Park, the driver said there is sunshine at this time to go, we decided to go straight to the MAGIX, originally called the driver sent us to the cable car, the driver said the results directly sitting in his car in the past, back then sat peak tram. We then, three two under the "trap", just sitting in the past, $ 15. But the days are hot and provincial roads. Also good drivers in VIVO CITY where we refer to the road, said here can take a small metro directly into the island and where to eat. Into the island's time to buy three tickets, $ a, 2, and to a map of the island. And then sat in the TAXI directly into the island, walk bridge. You can also go by bus.

The driver took us into the underwater world here is very convenient.

We first went to the beach, in the vicinity of the hotel with grilla playing one will go to the underwater world, seems quite expensive tickets, also not interested anymore, anyway, Ocean Park Hong Kong also visited the province some money. Here you can take free bus to other attractions. The island of free bus bonus line, blue line, the yellow line and floats. Red line up, the new bar, a row of old long, the longest line also, is the central island. We chose blue line, go to the long tail like that, people who have little line, free line anyway, wherever you want to go. A station road. It was new year's show, a lot of people. Here bought 2 sandwich, $ 5 a, our lunch.

Then we select the den and long tail, see previous gonglue says SIA boarding pass can be discounted, try it out, really can, adults $ 8, children $ 6.

After playing almost free after folding the kid. Underwater world or you can rely on your boarding pass at a discount. The top of the lion to see a panoramic view on the island, and Singapore in the construction of two large Casino. In fact, do not buy tickets, or you can climb the hill next to, or be able to see very far. Don't have to. But we in it met a enthusiastic tour, told us to look at the laser show in the evening to hurry up to buy tickets. Originally, we would also like to direct the past, there are two every night, 7 and 8 point 40 40. Down go behind from the lion is laser shoupiaodian. At this time is 4 pm, but two tickets are gone. Fortunately, the drama is the Spring Festival, 9: 40 and a farm, we hurriedly bought the tickets. Here is the Metro station on the island (Beach), free bus, we selected a few of the arrangement, this is the yellow line, along the beach no destination sat two stations, decided to get off, that the suspension bridge, the scenery is very beautiful. Stay for over an hour, I think until 9 p.m., eat on the island is very expensive, it is better to take the subway went out to eat and then come back and forth, up waste, subway ticket but the Islands have a sure to put the car money earned, besides to the Singapore haven't eaten snacks here, don't eat it goodbye. So three people take the yellow line train returns. Toss a discovered our hands came in to buy tickets for the can take the subway, no need to buy a ticket, a chuckle. Subway station is the harbour city, this small Metro has two carriages, two Station Road, has been travelling with. It is the largest food generation, a first-come-first-round outdoor pocket, very cool, it is next to the cruise Center, he took a point. Son also in the fun.

Dinner: pod generation ' trotters eating, next to see in gonglue "no sign" restaurant, really a lot.

Then take the subway back to the island, this time to buy a round-trip ticket, $ 3.

After that is to see a laser show, performing well.

Third day:

Morning activities: today is Sunday, cruise IN 12-point CHECK, we hurry to Orchard Road, no. 3, of the church made a week, good sensory overload.

Back to hotel luggage, called the TAXI to cruise Center (CRUISE CENTRE). 11: 40, in place of a cruise IN CHECK has been queued. Here are divided into two teams, sea view balcony room guests are red card, we are the blue card. 12 point open is for, and then we put the luggage lost, staff will direct the luggage to the room door. Then take the room card to row another Board in the warehouse team, in fact, you can divide the one row of CHECK IN, the otherA man to row den warehouse team, but previously do not see the gonglue, etc we CHECK IN later found the den in the warehouse team very old long, had to be patient to wait. Two teams down spent 2 hours. If a red card, the team is not that long, this is the advantage of reflecting the red card.

But my good mood and have not been this waiting to destroy, boarding a, passports were also handed out together, they have been kept here until we disembarked, so in Malaysia and Thailand and exit we are not a passport, just with room card to boarding, the consumer on the ship are recorded in the card, along with the clearing before shipping.

Then we see someone to take pictures, I have prepared, so fast, thought not let you shoot, I would not have hesitated whether to select the photo.

Photos at least SGD 9.9? But after a few days we still punters, love heart sweet place to buy a few. Reluctant to give up.

Our room had no window in the room with two beds side by side, turned down is above a bed, her son in the above slept for two nights.

I have the following two beds and together, as in the other a bed here there is a small bed, I put the boxes of clothes are spread out on it. The standard room is designed for 4 persons. Anyway, and sea-view balcony room is FABI. But want to want to be able to save up a few thousand dollars, and balance. Put down your luggage to go to dinner. The bed was on the day of navigation, the Chinese version of the newspaper, they will be placed under the room guests different languages newspaper. The boat has three free restaurant, (1) bilang accord — restaurant (2) of the Manchu court — Chinese restaurant (here a drink to the other charges of $ sprite 3) (3) Eastern Mediterranean restaurant-buffet of international cuisine.

Red card for guests 4 points to four and a half, our blue card 4 and a half later to set point, but I am 4: 15 to go already queued, and turn to me there is no restaurant and Japan restaurant, I chose 6: 15 restaurant, 8 point more to the second field. Red card for guests can be free to provide Japan restaurant, blue card for Japan Office also additional charges. These navigation in today's newspaper. Son and his Dad can't wait to go to 12 floor swimming pool for a swim. I continue to attend to our trip. Two days later after they landed on, or you can choose to ship Tour project, and every day there are several lines. In the boat can be scheduled.

Just nine passenger elevator, there is also 2 sightseeing lift.

Ship is very stable, basic no shaking feeling.

So don't worry about seasickness. The boat also has a clinic.

The room does not provide washing su supplies, to bring the plug is Imperial, I bought a in Yongle 29 element power dongle with you, if you do not have a belt can also go to the front desk to borrow.

We do not provide slippers are Singapore Hotel slippers to boat, swim with the slippers.

Fourth day:

Because there is no window in the room, wake up just get up 7 points, husband to watch the Sunrise, I sleep with my son.

8 point more to eat breakfast. Directly to the restaurant, where both the morning and afternoon are set meal, lunch is 5 dishes and a soup, the amount depending on the number, not enough to ask. We ate breakfast, not fun, go to 12 floor cafeteria food, later discovered that this choice is so wise, here fruit, beverages are free of charge, of course fresh squeezed to an additional fee.

After breakfast we start visiting the place, time passed quickly.

12noon to Penang, 12 point will then tuanyou concentrated ashore. Free line, provides for the late disembarkation. Because the boat is not direct Ocean, batch used boat dial out. Free line, at the earliest 12: 30 pm disembarkation, but also in the morning going to collar also brands. Our 12-point more when you can only get 1 point 30 disembarkation of brands, then after disembarkation would not have licensed brands. It's alright, not all packed in a outlet, it is order. We are in no hurry anyway, just go to dinner, 1 point more directly down whenBoat. On the shore for RMB 300 Ma bi, the ship has changed, say like swap gonglue cell point. 100 RMB/Ma BI: around 44. There are many taxi cabs, then know that these drivers are to have a certificate issued by the cruise company, not a casual drivers can come. We chose long-term Charter, 30 Ma bi 1 hour, at least 2 hours, should also be a counter-offer, I haven't seen in gonglue price, so never mind. 2 point to point 6, spent 4 hours. Then know that other people are 250 Yuan, almost, but they squeeze 5 personal vehicles. So we want to go and what you can call the driver to take us to go. We visited the local church, the oldest, Orchard Beach, reservoir. I felt very good, because in the Orchard also met the rest of the ship, they participated in a 1-day Orchard project, adult $ 55, $ 50 children. We bought the orchard of a total of 67 Malaysian dollars per ticket, and we also go to other places, but also do not have to be taken to the shopping, also less money than they. I think perhaps we are in accordance with local standards to consumption, and the application of travel on the boat is in accordance with Singapore's standard consumption. 6 point not to we went back to the Terminal. On board first dinner, went swimming. Night 12 floor has free BBQ, come too late to eat, indeed. Wanted to go to bed earlier today, tomorrow to get up early, but I still wear the late son crazy like the swimming pool, children.

Fifth day:

A collection of 8 points to cell phone alarm clock in the morning to 6: 15, but the climb up, 6: 45 didn't get up.

Breakfast, then the team went today. Also take a boat to go out, we sent to Alba East Beach, good morning America, foreigners are not yet out of the sand is empty. And then we sat down at the bus departure, to climb up the Cliff House of 007 island. The guide said that the impact of the tsunami in Phuket is in fact very small, the beach is only 200 people died, when the sea was becoming very dry, some foreigners very astonished, and ran to the sea which picking fish, tsunami came when they were too late to escape. Tsunami big place in another place. Bus with a nearly 2-hour, and then took a 1-hour boat before they came to the famous 007 Island, call on the enjoy gonglue Chinese cabbage Island, since 20 years ago, part 2 007 movie in this shot. One of the attractions along the way after seeing a lot of people in the submarine floating, the Guide says if Phuket tour of 5 days will be arranged here. This way the scenery is very beautiful, just like the taste of Guilin. Lunch in a local Malay village. And then be taken to a handicraft shop. This day is still very driven. Back to the boat has 5: 30, 6: 15 the captain before dinner cocktail party is about to begin, we quickly turns a bath, put on a dress came to the Central Hall. We are basically change, but no I think so many suits, dresses, perhaps more than the Chinese Spring Festival, it is not very regular, but t-shirts are certainly not wearing, wearing will not let into the restaurant. At this time of the photographer's most busy. After dinner, my son went swimming with requirements, energy is really strong.

Sixth day:

Today is the last day, morning husband and went to see the Sunrise, the son said he could climb up, continue to sleep, I do, and you want to start my started the logistics work and packing.

Dinner at noon, then to 8 floor, pick our photos. 12/f, go find the captain Chamber, master room staircase in gonglue has seen photographs, but is not found. Not willing, then asked the waiter, found even in the Galaxy nightclub inside. Go down the stairs, through State glass, you can see the panoramic view of the cab, is really good.

Also forget about the ship's steward, they come from 29 countries, in the chest will mark abroad something else, if you are from China, which is from the logo out of the province.

So if you can't speak English very well, no problem at all.

In the afternoon we continue to go swimming.

If there is no consumption, you can check out early, starting at noon on the last day of people queuing up checkout.

The boat also has quick checkout mode, is on board to go to the front desk at any time after registration, then it will freeze in the credit card for $ 500, will be automatically deducted, the extra two weeks to the card, so you don't have to queue up checkout. However I found that he was late to the checkout and is empty, the checkout to 6 points, 5 points in about half empty. Knot after you have account with room card you can get a passport. Last day of each room are made "important notice" from the boat. Requirement 5 points to leave the room, our 4-point half your are ready to go after supper, 5: 15 back room found the room has been trimmed, maybe new guests immediately to the boat, so I don't have much time to clean them. Press notice at 7 o'clock we collection in the Lido Theatre, our 5-point half went, no place to go anyway, I saw a lot of people in the Hall or on the deck, later prove our choice, staff will lead us to sit inside, export in it, then go out when she's in, first out. We do not have the disembarked in checked baggage, afraid to take the time to find the luggage, it took. Carry baggage staff will help very neatly first.
