                Hi there, yes i felt that Switz would be better in June holidays. I am reading the forum and thinking about London, but I am quite worried about the weather. i read on tripadvisor that Eve of Xmas n Xmas no public transport, so what we going to do the whole day 😞

                We have never been to a winter place, so i am not sure if I will be able to take it with the kids.
                NZ seems better, but I am worried about how to get from CHC to Queenstown, SI hahah,, no confidence to drive alone, in case we end up lost.

                  London has 4 major airports : Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick and London City

                  Most of us fly into Heathrow from Asia

                  There are some flights from Stansted / Gatwick to US, and London City cater to regional flights intra-Europe mostly and served by LCC

                  that hotel is quite far away from town

                    Can always take a flight from CHC to Queenstown, though it sounds silly, but driving in NZ is really easy because most of the time there is only one road between towns, so you won't get lost, directional signs are clearly posted at every turn, and it is a right-hand drive like SG, plus there is a thing called GPS

                    most of the towns are small and not as crowded as Toa Payoh or Tampines, so no worry. The route from CHC to Queenstown is scenic too

                      If you are not confident about driving and safety issues then u will probably be better off with a guided tour. If you don't like the rush of singapore tours, you can always fly to whichever destination be it NZ or London, and take their local land tour. Seems the perfect solution that will address all your concerns. You don't even need to do research. Someone will do it for u.

                        chix chix, are you taking the kids abroad by yourself?

                        if yes, maybe joining a tour group is better especially if you have never been to the country.
