We visited the famous Singapore Zoo today, which was about a 25 minute taxi ride from our place. This was the first time, since being here, that we left the city area and ventured out to where you can see the natural landscape of Singapore. The property that the zoo is on is absolutely stunning. The zoo surrounds a reservoir and we were able to take a boat ride along the edge of the zoo for a view of the natural surroundings.
Besides the impeccable grounds of the zoo, of note is that most of the animals are in very natural "like" habitats. We spotted several monkeys in trees right above our heads and were fortunate enough to see a mom, with her baby holding on tight, climb right over our heads.
I included these pictures of the landscape of the zoo, rather than bore people with more animal photos, because this is what makes this zoo so amazing. We would definitely visit the zoo again, but not on a weekend as it was extremely crowded!
Rookie move number 1: We visited the zoo without umbrellas during the rainy season and thus had to purchase five wonderful rain ponchos. When we heard the thunder, we knew we were in trouble, as rain does not come down lightly in Singapore. I am not kidding when I say that we were getting stares from the locals as the five of us walked around the park with these ponchos!
