A big day today. Along with our Night Safari ticket Bill was able to purchase a package which involved two other Parks. Jurong Bird Park and Singapore Zoo, so decided to do both today. Jurong Park has a strong conservation leaning which is good. It has had a few captive breeding programmes, the most notable being the endangered 12 wired Bird of Paradise. It also has bird shows with trained birds along with the largest collection of south East Asian hornbills. In one of the big aviaries they have built the tallest manmade waterfall which is reportedly in the largest walk-in aviary. It also has an air-conditioned Panorail that can get you round the park. A lot of walking and then we did the zoo
The Singapore Zoo is next to the Night Safari but is a totally different zoo, and is on a Peninsula bordering the Selatar Reservoir which you can also take a boat trip on. Many of the animals are uncaged and up close and personal. Just a selection of the photos that are particularly cute. By the end of the day we were weary and footsore, took a taxi back to the hotel and tumbled into the pool after a quiet dinner in the Executive Club lounge. We will relax in room tonight. Might draw myself a bath.
