We went with some friends to the Sungei Reserve where there are swamps, parcels of rain forests and ponds that are home to many birds and animals. We were hoping to see the Monitor Lizards and didn't have any trouble finding them since they were all over. Several times we had to wait while they crossed on the paths in front of us. They are very big and look a bit like an alligator. Luckily, they are more scared of us than we are of them and when we walked by, they would walk off or stay very still. We also got to see tree crabs, mudskippers, and otters.

| This is a Mudskipper. It looks like a walking fish and can live out of water. |
After leaving the Reserve, we headed to Bollywood Farms where they grow organic fruit and vegetables and have a tasty cafe known as Poison Ivy. We had a delicious lunch and we were then treated to a guided tour of the farm. The kids learned about different kinds of plants and fruits and even got to do some tasting.

| The farm was quite large and beautiful. Since we are living right in the middle of the city, we love getting out to explore Singapore's countryside. |
Great shots and movies of the monitor lizards. They are magnificent. The reserve and farm looked like a trip I would enjoy.
