Sentosa,which apparently means peace and tranquillity in Malay, is a popular island resort in Singapore. Lisa took her relatives there the other day and I tagged along too. I had a quick look at the price list and it seems to be quite costly to go to all the attractions at Sentosa. We took a package which enables us to choose 3 attractions from the Experience category and 1 from the Adventure category. More information there. We chose The Merlion, Images of Singapore, Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom and Sentosa 4D Magix. The package costs SGD 33.90 per adult instead of SGD52. We added an extra SGD5 to get one more attraction from the Adventure category and opted for the Luge & Skyride.

Our first stop was The Merlion.

merlion coin
Everyone got a coin at the exit of the theater(where I forgot my camera pouch :weeping: ) and we are supposed to insert the coin into the Merlion’s mouth to get a mystery gift card that we take to the counter to redeem a free gift.

We all had to wear helmets for the luge ride which was like carting.
