Saigon Tourist Sites

People's Committee Hall





Opera House




Notre Dame Cathedral





Central Post Office





As you may notice these attractions have French colonial structure. It is because France conquered Vietnam for ages; pretty much like Spain to the Philippines. That is until the Americans came to help South Vietnam fight the communists from the North.

I do admire how the locals preserve those buildings. They are still in good condition and are really looked after.

A Weekend For My Special Boy

I have never driven to the Gold Coast alone. I drove there before but the Husband was with me. Our trip last weekend was my first. I was a bit antsy but I really want to have a lovely weekend with the Little One far from home, so off we went. We had a good and safe drive; as my constant entertainer talked non-stop!

From the start and end of the long weekend, I made sure Kaiden had so much fun!


He had face painting.



Went on this jumping thing.

He wanted to have a donkey ride at first, but I told him that it would be boring as they would just be walking around. Then he saw this and I was surprised that he wanted to go on it. I was glad and amused that my Boy is in for the adventure. He loved jumping up and down and was shrieking with joy!



We went on the AquaDuck bus that goes in the water.


Kaiden thinks that it's so cool that our bumpy bus can float in the water like a boat! He get to drive it with the Captain's help and received an AquaDuck License Certificate!



Had a try at the Mini Golf.



He enjoyed playing at the hotel's pool . . .

. . . and of course, at the beach!


Our stay at the Gold Coast was short but it was filled with such warm memories that Kaiden and I so wished we have shared with his Dada! He already planned to do the same activities and go back to some places when B gets home.

It was a very long and tiring drive on the way home but seeing the fresh face and sweet smile of my Only Son makes it all worth it! An added bonus was when the Little One thanked me for having such a good time! Now, if that will not wipe your exhaustion away, I don't what else would!

The Chevron Renaissance Towers


On our long weekend getaway, we stayed at the Chevron Renaissance Towers, which is conveniently situated right at the heart of Surfers Paradise.


It has 3 towers with a number of facilities that will make you want to just stay within the vicinity of the property. They have an indoor pool and spa pavilion, an outdoor pool and barbeque area, a gym and sauna, a games room and theatre.

The Lobby



The Lift


As a security measure for the buildings' residents, you will need to activate the lift by holding the back fob of the key over the black panel on the lift itself before you can press the button of your floor.

The Bedroom



The View



The Pool



Various restaurants, cafes, bars and shops are just on the ground level of the Chevron Renaissance Plaza. You won't need to go far because almost everything that you need is just within walking distance; even the beach!

I would definitely stay there again!
