Back in Moscow once again. Have been back in Singapore for the past 3 weeks and it was an activity packed trip. I've managed to snug in a trip to Taiwan with my parents as well as attend a wedding. It was Charlotte's godma Steffi's wedding. Charlotte managed to stay with my parents alone for more than 3 hours because bridesmaid duties called for. However she still refused to drink milk from the bottle. She rather go without milk. I think the highlight of this trip back to Singapore was the Taiwan trip. Besides being stuck in the car for long hours, I think Charlotte was very happy on this trip. She never had a dull moment whenever she's up. The moment she wakes up, gong gong and popo sprung into action and whizzed her out of the door. She is mostly happy and smiling most of the time. All she needed was space to run around and no one to say "no" to this and that hah. We even managed to celebrate my dad's birthday on this trip. This trip is not t

Helsinki

Unfortunately for us, the weather was bad on the day we were to take the ferry to Helsinki from Tallinn. We arrived at the port and was told that the 12pm ferry was cancelled. The next ferry departs at 6pm. The suggestion was to catch another ferry that departs in 20 mins time and it will take about 10 mins to walk over to the other port. Even though it was raining, we decided to try our luck and walked as fast as possible to try and catch the ferry. Luck was on our side, as we managed to catch it. It was a slower ferry. Instead of 1.5hrs, this ferry took 2.5hrs. However it was more of a cruise then a ferry. Charlotte seemed happy about it as there was a play corner on board that could keep her entertained. Despite the large ship, the choppy waters made us a little sick. Even Charlotte threw up all of a sudden. But she continued playing like nothing happened after she threw up. We did not do much in Helsinki. Mainly just walking around and as usual, looked for places to keep Charl

From Tallinn to Helsinki

We could not have choose a better place for vacation. I conclude that a 1.5hours flight is the perfect duration for baby Leow which means a good flight for us parents too. With just a nap, she arrived in another country. What more can one ask for? Charlotte was all happy and bouncy at the airport and during boarding. The moment the plane was taking off, she fell asleep while nursing. Woohoo! I could not be happier when she sleeps hah. Upon arrival, she woke up and was all cherry when we waiting for our luggage. Tallinn came as a surprise to me. I did not expect the country to be so artsy, cosy and even child friendly. Even the airport was so cozy. There were little cafes littered around the airport. Not those chain coffee house we see in big airports. There were also play corners every few meters in the transit area. No wonder the poster states "The cosiest airport". I definitely agree! We booked Hotel Palace and it came as another surprise to us. We were upgraded
