    Family breakfast

    March 12, 2019 in Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Today marks B’s most anticipated part of our holiday. Breakfast with my relatives (orangutans) at Singapore Zoo ($35 each). We got a taxi out to the Zoo (taxi $26, zoo entry $40 each with unlimited tram rides). The breakfast itself was quite good and we had an awesome spot. Everyone got a few chances for photos which was good. Definitely an experience we will remember! After that we explored the rest of the zoo. It’s massive, well spaced out and has some cool exhibits including an orangutan exhibit you can walk through as they swing above you. We saw an elephant show and were able to feed the elephants which B loved, he had a massive grin the whole time. They had a rainforest walk through section with peacocks, flying fox, rainforest deer and a toucan so close you had to move to avoid running in to them. It took us about 4.5 hours to see most of the zoo but we didn’t see the main shows as we’ve seen similar before. We had lunch on the cafe before coming back to the hotel by taxi because we were tired ($16 and a terrible driver). Revived a bit we went downstairs for a snack and drinks (including in room rage) and then strolled down to 313@somerset to see what stores they had there. I bought a card wallet and we window shopped in a few stores before strolling back to the hotel at about 8pm. We are both looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow!Read more
