As much as I love to travel, it can be very satisfying to get through your own door and no longer live out of a suitcase. We returned from our three week trip to Asia at the weekend. It was an extra bonus to find Spring in full bloom and the sun shining (although that hasn’t lasted very long).
Our trip to Hong Kong, Bali and Singapore was a wonderful mix of culture, sight-seeing and relaxation as well as catching up with friends and bloggers too, it was a delight to spend some time with City Tripping regular Bumble Bee Mum in Singapore. Thanks for showing us around!
I have lots to write about over the coming weeks – once I get my head around the jet lag and unpacking (my least favourite part of travel). For this week’s City Tripping I am linking up my trip to Stockholm last summer and what we did in three days with two children in tow.
Cathy’s favourites from last week were.
Singapore’s best kept secret beach – Bumble Bee Mum
A weekend in Bordeaux with kids – Dais like these
Philadelphia in a weekend – Fifi and Hop
Osaka: a foodie’s paradise – Rain City Librarian

It could be a day out, a review of an attraction, long weekend or sharing your best insider info and hidden gems – as long as it is city-related travel.

Awww.. I had lots of fun showing you guys around! I just found out that Norwegian Air is operating low-cost direct flights from Singapore to London… I should go check them out. Maybe I wouldn’t have to save THAT long for that London trip.. Maybe. Hahaha…

You totally should check them out!! When you get here it’s no more expensive than Singapore. Would love to return the favour and show you around!
3 weeks in Asia? cool!

Can’t wait to hear all about your trip – and how fun to get to meet up with Bumblebee Mum, what a perfect guide for your stopover 🙂

I know! Love this linky for the people we can connect with! X
That’s amazing you were in Asia for 3 weeks! Thanks so much for featuring my post on Philadelphia. I would love to be added to the City Tripping Pinterest board. x
It was an awesome trip to Asia! Have added you to the board X
Oh, I know that feeling all too well! Being able to use your own washer and dryer, and sleeping on your own bed, is just wonderful after a long trip!!
It really is! And eat simple food – which you’ve cooked – in your own home. The little things!
Loved seeing your Asia pics! I’ve only ever been to Singapore – I must get further afield over that way but, it seems I’m always busy visiting vineyards (it’s a tough job but someone has to do it!)
Thanks Heidi! You are doing a valiant job on the vineyards! Good work.
Welcome home!!!
