Paris is addictive. This was my fifth time and each time has been a very different experience. This visit was an opportunity to live more like a local — to eat and drink in local restaurants and bars, to have picnics in the gardens, and to explore the less trodden paths. I never grow tired of seeing Paris, nor eating French food. And naturally, we ate croissants every morning for breakfast, baguette, cheese and wine every day for lunch and more wine, bread and cheese with dinner every night. »

We stayed at the Marina Bay Sands hotel, which was, predictably, very impressive. However, for the price, it is what you would expect. But it was worth it to swim in that pool! It is quite an experience swimming 200m up in the air, looking out into the high rise buildings of the city. »

We love travelling and since being together have tried to fit in as much holidaying in the year as our 9–5 work schedules would allow. However, we were constantly left wanting more after only four weeks annual leave per year. »
