we stopped off in this wonderful place for 2 days before nz.
mark lived here for a year when he was a pre-teen and so it was really cool for him to show me the sights and sounds of this unique place. it was very nostalgic for him as it hasn't changed a lot.
the first evening we headed out on the bus to orchard road, the very famous shopping area. it was busy and hot. i was so exhausted after a busy end of the year!
this is me waiting for a mango/pineapple smoothie... the best I have ever had but no photo :( sorry...
Day 2 was off to singapore zoo! it was a place t had really wanted to visit... The day was quite cool and overcast which was so good.
here is a collection of my favourite animals during the trip. i love otters so we watched them being fed and swimming for a long time. the zoo also have manatees which mark loves. the bottom right photo was also a fave. it's of a pigmy hippo baba and his mum. they were just chillaxing but it was cute to see the rolly skin and them snuggling together.
i have saved the best til last. during our trip we went to a show about rainforest animals. just sitting there waiting for it to start and mark gets a tap on his shoulder and a signal to follow this warrior. mark's up for it and joins the actors on stage. they signal to have him strip off his shirt and do a shout and display of power to the audience and then indicate for mark to do it.
later on in the day mark got lots of 'hellos' from people recognising him around the place. i loved it!
well it was a short trip but it was great to experience a bit of singapore. my next post will be on our trip home to aotearoa.
bye for now x
Love it! That smoothie sounds delicious and how cool that Mark had already lived there before. Cracking up at the facials - go the Haka!!
ReplyDeleteThat haka story is so funny! Singapore is on the list of places to see
