From the land once ruled by majestic Ottoman Sultans, we have disembarked thousands of miles, half way across the globe; Singapore. We arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule and were greeted by our local guide, Ben. Even though it was waaay past our bedtime, we were boosted and overflowing with excitement. This excitement and anticipation was welcomed by the Concord Hotel. The room was furnished and equipped with all the bells and whistles thus comforting our aching bodies after a long flight. Even so, some of us immediately checked in and started using the hotel's facilities such as the swimming pool.
At 1 pm, we set out to fill our grumbling tummies with some mouth watering cuisine. We dined at a Siamese restaurant and were beyond satisfied. We did some light shopping and strolling around the mall. We returned to the hotel to freshen up due to the humid weather and went out for dinner. That same restaurant was our choice and it didn't let us down.
Then came the highlight and the most anticipated part of the day; the Singapore Zoo Night Safari. At 7pm, we boarded the bus heading north of Singapore toward the zoo. Once there, we boarded the tram and enjoyed what nature had to offer. Not only did we experience the lush rainforests, we also witnessed dozens of majestic animal species ranging from the Malayan Tiger to the Asian Elephant. We were simply mesmerized.
After the ride, we watched animals perform various tricks at the Amphiheatre. Not only did this make our day and get a few laughs out, we witnessed various nocturnal animals display their capabilities and attributes. One of them was 3 otters placing recyclable materials into the appropriate bins. Simply breathtaking!
Good night/ Selamat malam.
