We were up early this morning so that we could we spend time at Singapore Zoo. It is one of the top 5 zoos in the world and it certainly deserves it’s international reputation. The Zoo is arranged as though you are walking through a rainforest with animals housed within areas or large enclosures which contain natural vegetation. There are no cages and no high rise fences. Some of the birds, lizards and even monkeys can roam quite freely amongst other inhabitants and visitors alike. We saw White Tigers, Proboscis Monkeys, Tigers, Giraffes, Hippos and Polar Bears and watched a fantastic “Elephants at work and play show” during which 4 Asian elephants illustrated their logging skills as well as their painting skills! We took public transport out to the Zoo, the MRT (their equivalent of the tube) was modern, fast and reliable and we were both amazed at how all the people here speak English and all the signs and information is in English too. It cost just £4 each to get to the Zoo and back even though it was a 2 hour round trip.
At 16.30 we were picked up from our hotel (Peninsula Excelsior) and taken to the airport for what was to be the longest leg of our journey. We flew from Singapore to Sydney, arriving at 5.00 the next morning and then after a 3 hour wait, flew on to Christchurch New Zealand. We arrived in New Zealand at 13.30 the next day local time.
