We survived the 8 hr plane ride fine. Kids were real troopers and did not complain once nor ask 'are we there yet?' Mia did ask quite a few times whilst we were waiting for the last of the passangers to board if we were taking off yet - she wanted the lolly I promised so her ears wld not pop.
We arrived at midnight so yesterday was the first full day in S'pore and did we jam pack it with stuff. For breakfast we went local and tried our luck at the food market. Interesting. Can't really say it was tasty but it was definitely different. Then we spent most of the day at the zoo. Saw cute little monkeys, elephants, huge giraffes and flamingoes among other exotic animals. Inside the zoo is a kids water park, which the kids took to like a duck to water. For me luch was a spicy mix of the local take on Indian and Jai tried dim sum.
Back at the hotel pool we frolicked before heading to the waterfront seafood centre for a delicious chilli crab dinner. The locals on the table next to us tried (unsuccessfully) to teach me how to use those confounded chop sticks. They were celebrating a birthday and shared some delicious cake with us (after singing a happy birthday song that sounded to us like Kum-ba-ya). The cake tasted just like choc mint slice biscuits. Amazing.
Today were are taking a River Cruise then a city tour to see little India, China Town and the orchard garden.
sounds like fun already! Had to laugh at the 'frolicking in the hotel pool', I had a image of Morry delicately tiptoeing through the shallows. LOL
