Sentosa Trip - Day 2

What is considered a school holiday if we as parents don't spend enough time with the children during this period?

We planned the second day back in sentosa once again for a beach outing!

The night before, it rained throughout. So when we woke up at 7am on the 20th, we thought we had to abandon this trip since the weather looks equally bad given the heavy downpour the night before. However, we decided to go ahead with the trip back in sentosa as the boys were really looking forward to the beach play.

We reach the island near 10am and decided to go for the Port of Lost Wonder adventure. It was only priced at $8 per child during weekdays and the accompanying adult get to go in for free. As we have only equipped them with their swimwear, we left it to the boys to have their fun in this water-themed park.

The queue was long, despite being a weekday. Most of the visitors were tourists so I gathered everyone around the world is taking a break from work.
 

The boys were being briefed of the rules and given a pouch of coins and a passport
 
Each bag contains 5 coins for them to spend in the park

Ethan was just happy and contented playing with the water jets and this see saw

There was a time when the cotton candy station was out serving, the boys queued up to get their share for 2 coins each

Our lunch from Pork Belly - this is a child's meal - about $10 each after GST and 10% surcharge. Simple but the sausage sandwich is nice. We ordered 3 portions in total eventually.











Not wanting to risk another disappointment due to weather, we decided to call it a day at Port of Lost Wonder at about 2pm (after 4 hours of play) and head out to the beach nearby. The boys finally get to play with their sand tools and start building their sandcastles.

 Their other all-time favourite: challenging the currents and holding on to their positions


This day was fun-filling, the boys were already asking when can they come again to the Port of Lost Wonder.
