SINGAPORE ZOO

Woke up refreshed and down to breakfast early. All fed and watered we picked up some tourist information from the the reception. Walked outside and the heat just hit us,it`s definitely shorts weather here. Were not far from the famous Raffles hotel so had to have a peep and promised ourselves we would have a drink there before we went home. Made our way to the City Link building to get a 2 day bus/underground pass. We jumped on the first train that came along. There was a friendly chap sitting next to Bri who turned out to be very helpful. He suggested the Zoo which turned out to be brilliant. It was hot but there were plenty of places to cool down and a train to pick you up if you got tired. First stop was the Avery and then the Arena for a show. There was a big school trip there and the presenter was trying to get across to them how important it was to save the rain forest. Enormous birds were flying around and monkeys were doing all sorts of tricks. The kids just loved it. Next came the elephants and giraffes followed by some cute Meerkats. It was all beautifully laid out and the tropical garden you would have loved mom. Plenty of orchids all in bloom. Every tropical plant you can imagine. Monkeys were funny and you could almost touch them. Well it was a great visit and after returning to the hotel we went down to the restaurant and had dinner and a drink. Walk around and slept well!!Goodnight x x ps only one night left!!!!
