The Singapore Zoo - we love it

So Lionardo has been looking forward to this part of the trip for a very long time. Going to Singapore Zoo with Uncle P was a huge success 2 years ago. So it was early to bed sunday evening.

The day started grey and dull - rain, rain go away. Fortunately after breakfast the rain stopped and we ( the usual suspects and uncle P) were off to the zoo. By 11 am we were at the zoo queing up for tickets behind a russian-speaking guy that kept flicking his fingers at his son's head in spite of the internationally recognized "auu";hmm...family interaction!? I digress (not uncommon)

11.30 we were booked on our private "behind the scenes" guided tour of the rainforest and reptiles. WOW - we held snakes, heard a rattler, touched a leopard gecko and last but not least fed archer fish. Those fish can shoot. 16.00 - a boat trip, tram trip and a white tiger feeding later - we out of the zoo. WOW

A few shots:
