Singapore Night Safari

Yesterday we escaped rainy Tokyo only to arrive in rainy Singapore. However, as the taxi driver from the airport promised, today was sultry and sunny. We filled our morning by the pool. Roo demonstrated his impressive snorkeling skills that he's been practicing in the tub at home. After the pool we moved to the beach to build an obstacle course for our few toy trucks that accompany us to destinations with sand. Late in the afternoon we visited the impressive Night Safari, the world's first wildlife park with a night view. The 45 minute tram ride allowed us to see amazing creatures in all their active nocturnal splendor. The lions and tigers were lazy but we witnessed hyenas, elephants, giraffes, tapir, ant eaters, rhinos, water buffalo, deer, bearded pigs, and a hippo on the move. Ryan carried a zonked out Roo from the taxi to the hotel room where he quickly huddled under his bed covers without opening an eye..
