Singapore Zoo Pt1

No trip to Singapore is complete without a day out at the Singapore Zoo. It's probably the family's favorite attraction and always the highlight of the week.


This was in the Australian enclosure which this time round was a little disappointing as there were few kangaroos out and about. But Jack found this Jeep which he loved. I was on the lookout for other wildlife. The last time we were here we found a wild baby snake on a leaf and recently on Animal Planet we saw a programme about the zoo and they caught a python in the enclose!



The kids always love the Asian elephants section. Unfortunately we missed the show this time.




But we were in time for the ride which made Ayden's day. He's been talking about doing this for months.


This is a statue of Ah Meng who died a couple of years ago and was the zoo's most famous exhibit having starred in several movies. 


Another exhibit we couldn't miss was the crocs. Since visiting the Crocodile farm in Miri in Dec, Ayden talks about co-co-dials everyday.

And he was very excited to see the big guys.


These pythons were so unbelievably big. I have a huge dislike of reptiles but am fascinated with snakes. We initially thought this was one big snake but a closer look there was another head. Iman was very brave going next to the window - don't think I could have done that myself!


This was also another highlight for the kids especially being Jack's first time on a horse.


And Ayden he's hooked on going to the horses anyway so he was happy to hang around them.
