SINGAPORE - Sentosa Island
After a nite's kip on the very hard floor at Singapore airport I hopped on the MRT to Little India to my hostel. Unfortunately I couldnt check in so I had to just dump my bags, then I jumped back on the MRT to Harbourfront.
From there I got the skytrain to Sentosa Island and was pleasantly surprised. It had a nice beach and is a great place to entertain the kids for a day. I entertained myself by going to see Underwater World. It was great, although I dont know how natural it is to have touch pools where people are constantly sticking their hands in and touching the fish. There was one pool full of sting wrays and they seemed to love people touching them. They came straight over and would flap up out of the water for some attention. It certainly seemed strange to think that such a friendly creature had managed to kill Mr Irwin!
Included in the price was a dolphin show, so I took a wander back along the beach to Dolphin lagoon. I stopped off and had an Ais Kacang which is a huge pile of crushed ice dripping with syrups and sauces and at the bottom is a mix of red beans, jelly and even sweetcorn. Wierd, but wonderful.
The dolphin show was performed by 2 pink dolphins and was pretty good. They did as they were told and got paid with fish.
I headed back to the skytrain station and stopped off to check out the huge replica Marmion monument. Then I headed back across to the main land where I treated myself to a Mie Goreng and iced coffee which then treated me to the first dose of the scoots I have had since going to Egypt over 5 years ago!
