Day 5 - More Food, SIghts and Activities

After a good night's rest (they needed it) I took the kids to meet some more ol’ friends and we spent the afternoon...(can you guess??).....eating of course.....that's basically what people do here every hour of the day. This country is just one 24X7 food paradise. They got to try real Chinese food and interesting desserts. Then we headed to the Singapore Polo club where they got to see Polo in action and luckily Marcus was able to cool down with a much needed swim. We then headed for the Night Safari...supposedly the only kind in the world where you travel on a tram (or walked) in a wild animal park where the animals are so close to you, you can almost touch them. There seemed to be no fences between us and them and the only lights allowed are those artificial moonlights that surround the animal enclosures. It was a strict no flash zone coz the animals would scare easily and they made sure numerous times of reminding us. I can see why we went at night coz it was still hotter than #$%^& at 11 PM. The best feeling we had was going through a genuine rain forest where it seemed like the temps actually dropped about 20 degrees. The kids loved that one. I have to admit that I have now confirmed that I have 2 very different kids. One loves the heat and humidity (Kayla) and the other would thrive in the Alaskan tundra. Marcus will never make it here he said.

Tomorrow is R&R day but I think the kids know that Dad does not know the meaning of that when he is in Singapore. So we’ll see……
