Budget holiday in Singapore by public transport .... Day 3

Day 3 :

This is our final day in Singapore . We have our breakfast at the muslim restaurant situated just beside  the hotel . But there is another muslim restaurant at the Fortune building , just across the road if you would like to try . We paid   SGD28 for the breakfast  . After breakfast , I went to the Bugis MRT Station  with my second son  to return back our " Singapore Tourist pass " and I got refund SGD10 each .

We checked out from the hotel at 10:30 am . We walked to the Queen street where you can find Bus Terminal to Johor Bahru . Its took us around 10 min by walking . Actually this station very near to the Arab Street and not very far from Santa Grand Bugis Hotel . No wonder people like to stay at that hotel , it is very near to the bus station . For me , both of them have their own  niche attraction ..SGB near to everything , and BH , the hotel have class of its own ..nice smell and very very comfortable bed !

At this Queen Street terminal station , there are taxi stand too . There are two bus operators operated over here , The Causeway Link ( CW 2 ) and Singapore Johore Express ( SJE ) . We took SJE bus with the fare of SGD2.40 per passenger . The duration  for travelling from here to Woodlands around 45 min and another 15 min to cross the causeway to JB Sentral ( depends on the  traffics ) . Advantage , less walking compared to using MRT/ Kranji Station ( CW 1 ) .  The process at departure at the the imegresen  is the same but vice versa as per during entry to Singapore .

After we reached JB Sentral , I walked to the Sun City parking for my car and the fee is RM33 for 3 days . Later ,  I drove and proceed to Singgah Selalu Restaurant  for our lunch, ( location : opposite side of  Danga Bay ) . This restaurant offered you variety of dishes and very famous among tourist either Malaysian or Singaporean . After lunch and performed our pray at the nearby mosque and its time to say good bye to my second son ,,,,, AFar ,  study hard @ smart ,  and make papa and mama feel proud of you , Amin .  Till see you next time , BYE !
