🥗 Hello! Singapore Food Tours 🥗

🍣 On our short stay in the beautiful city of Singapore, we were thrilled to once again enjoy one of our favorite activities – a walking, cultural food tour!

My wife and I had an outstanding outing and experience, with Hello SingaporeTours

🌮 We absolutely love cultural food tour experiences, when traveling to new destinations around the world.

👏 Our guide, Gee Soo, was fantastic and so knowledgeable about food and his wonderful city. He led us through the famous {Joo Chiat} neighborhood, where we sampled local specialties including;
Curry Puff, Kaya Toast, delicious Nonya Bak Chang and Nonya Kuih cakes.

It was a perfect experience that blended the cities history, culture and of course, the incredible food.

This was our second tour with the Hello!Tours brand.
The first was in Hong Kong and it definitely won't be our last!

🚶‍♀️ It’s a great way to get to know a city through its flavors and local eateries and while at the same time, witnessing local everyday life of the locals.

If you've never tried a local food tour, then I highly recommend adding one to your next travel destination.

🏬 The Wyndham Quito Airport Hotel - Quito, Ecuador 🏬

✈️ After 2 very long flights from Vancouver, BC, my wife and I finally landed at Mariscal Sucre Quito International Airport in Quito, Ecuador.

🌃 We knew we would be tired and because of our late arrival just after midnight, we chose to stay at the Wyndham Quito Airport Hotel, just 2 minutes away from the terminal.

🚌 We advised the hotel of our late arrival, and their complimentary 24-hour shuttle bus was waiting for us at arrivals with our name on a board.

What a welcome site!

This 4-star Wyndham Hotels & Resorts property is absolutely perfect solution for both business and pleasure travelers.

We were delighted by the details that truly make a difference:

Upon arrival at the hotel, we received a warm welcome by reception staff and checked in quickly and easily.

Within a few minutes we were in our room!

🛏️ Our guest room was spotless, spacious and very comfortable, with all the necessary amenities.
🏊 For those staying longer, the hotel has a swimming pool, sauna and a well-equipped fitness center. 🏋️‍♀️

After our amazing adventures in Ecuador, we were scheduled for a dreaded "red eye" flight home. We chose to book the hotel for the afternoon and evening, before catching our late evening flight.

😀 This way we could rest, enjoy the hotel's amenities and be ready for the long flights back to Canada.

🍳 We enjoyed a superb breakfast on our arrival, and excellent dinner at the hotel restaurant before heading back to the airport.

👍 If you are planning a trip to Quito, this hotel is a great choice.

We even booked our stay in the city with a Wyndham property, which also was outstanding!

📱 aloSIM - eSIM Internet Data Plans 📱

The first time I purchased an eSIM Internet Data data plan, was when my wife and I spent 20 wonderful days in on a road trip in Scotland.
The eSIM business we used was called aloSIM, a well respected and established company based in Canada.

Instead of struggling with physical SIM cards in the past, we decided to tried the Alosim | eSIM Internet Data.
🌍 The experience was superb!
We were connected as soon as we arrived, and we used less than half of our data plan that we purchased for the entire 20 days.
We easily found; restaurants, stores, gas stations and used Google Maps each day, all from the comfort of our car.

📡 🌐 No more searching for free wi-fi areas when traveling and possible mistaken roaming charges.
An eSIM is a secure, practical and efficient solution that's perfect for those without international data plans on their cellphones.

Since our trip to Scotland, we've also used their data plan in two other international destinations we've traveled to since.

Be sure to check out more about our experience this eSIM data plan is a great choice when traveling internationally.

🌅 The Malahat SkyWalk - Vancouver Island 🌅

🍁 If your travels have you visiting my neck of the woods Vancouver Island in British Columbia, then be sure to check out this major outdoor attraction.

🌷 It's the incredible Malahat Skywalk located just outside the City of Victoria.
This is truly a unique attraction and one highly recommend!

🌳 Your adventure begins with an informative above ground nature walk along the forest, which eventually leads to the incredibly unique "Skywalk" structure.
This is a colossal tower reaching a full 10 stories in height!

🏞️ As we slowly climbed the 600-meter circular path, we were amazed by the spectacular 360-degree view of; Finlayson Arm, the Saanich Peninsula, Mount Baker in Washington State and the beautiful Coastal Mountains.

🤸‍♀️ For the bravest among you, there's also a rope platform at the top that you can cross – if you dare!
There's even a circular slide to go down, that kids will love!

☕ After enjoying the beautiful view from the top and sliding down to the bottom, there's a picnic area, cafe and easy walking nature trail, which leads back to the main entrance.
🥗 At the entrance, there's another cafe and gift shop to spend some leisurely time.

🚌 This is definitely worth a visit and there are guided tours from downtown Victoria, out to this attraction.
