Singapore Part II or is it Part III???

Two last nights in Sigapore city, and oh how we will miss everything about it... except its costs! Well till next time that is, but with the way we've been travelling, that could be in a couple of weeks time! On our first night, we chilled out after travelling from Melaka, and headed to a nearby Chinese for some good food! We weren't that tired as it turned out, as we tuned in to watch the Emmy's!

On our second day, we got ourselves to Singapore Zoo. You can imagine how excited I was in particular, its been an age since either of us had been to the zoo, so we were both looking forward to it. And what a treat it was....definately one of our highlights of South East Asia. Now here was a zoo that had the right idea, no cages just moats and enclosures, variety, a real rainforest walk, the wildest of animals raoming freely (when you first see the orangutans hanging and playing in the trees above you, words cannot describe how you feel!) and most importantly real recognition for environment conservation.

We had a wonderful day looking at all the displays and watching the animals, from 12ft aligators to 12inch mousedeers, from the otters swiming lengths on its back in the pool, to giant polar bears tearing apart fish for lunch!

The highlights were definately the white tigers with their absolutely stunning coats and such regal postures, and the beastly looking wild dog which looked like it came straight out of the Val Helsing movie! Tim also managed to somehow inspire the sloth to move at lightning speed so that by the time Tim reached the platform where it had been lazily hanging about, it was now in the treetops of its enclosure a good 50-60 meters away from the platform!

We finished off in our favourite coffee house and lived up the Singaporean way of life, before we headed to the airport... Bali or Bust....
