A Hotel (un)Adventure

PF had a voucher for a free night's stay in a hotel so we packed the family up and headed off for an adventure. Humph, except for the 45 minutes we spent in the pool, there wasn't much adventure in our little getaway. There's nothing to do in a hotel! And we weren't in town, so there was no chance of getting out to do a little shopping. It was a bit of a let down.

As we were getting ready to check out, DN pottered about the room, looking for things to do. He was very contented sitting in the drawers.



After checking out, we went to Centrepoint, had breakfast at Long John Silver's and shopped at Robinsons. DN likes Bob The Builder, but there are hardly any BTB toys. (PHEW!)







Later that afternoon, we met Sophie, Arianne and Jovann at Fidgets. It was quite different from the first time we brought DN there.

It was a madhouse! There were little bodies running, jumping and hurtling everywhere. CRAZY! After 5 minutes in the war zone 'big kids' playground, we admitted defeat and retreated to the 'little kids' playground.

If you want to go to Fidgets, go at 5pm. It empties at 5pm and it's almost immediate. One minute you can hear fighting, screaming and crying, and then, suddenly, silence. Bliss!

Brenda's theory is that the expat housewives have to go home to prepare dinner. Yay! And that's when the Singaporeans have the whole 'big kids' playground to themselves, and proceed to playplayplay until 6.15pm and make the Fidgets staff wait for them to close up. Oops, did I just say that?
