Four days three nights in Singapore
1 - 4 Dec 2016
After our Costa Victoria cruise we extended our stay in Singapore for another three nights. We have booked a three nights stay at The Pod, which is a boutique capsule hotel along Beach Road. It is within walking distance to the Bugis MRT station and Nichol Highway MRT station. It cost us about RM230 per night for a double bed. Upon checking in we were informed that children are not allowed to stay in the hostel even with their parents for safety reason and for the comfort of other guests. However, we were granted a one time waiver since we were not aware and did not read the terms and conditions in Agoda website.

We end our day by going to the famous Orchard Road to watch the Christmas lights decoration.
As usual there are many streets performers along the side walk. We took a rest by seating down and watch the performance for a while.
It was a long day out and we were physically tired by all the walking and rushing. We went back to The Pod for a good night sleep before we depart for Kuantan the next morning.
