Singapore: clean, safe. Hot and steamy. Home of spectacular architecture. After arrival, we spent some time looking around the huge malls adjacent to the ship terminal. Then, back to the ship for a quick snack, and onto a bus which would be our transportation to a memorable evening. Our destination wasThe Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo. We rode along paved trails on an open-air tram, in almost total darkness. Low lighting illuminated the animals. They appeared to be roaming free, but were actually enclosed by moats or hidden electric fences. Flash photography was not allowed. The tram was moving and so were the animals, therefore, no pictures. If you want to Google "Singapore Night Safari" I'm sure you will find some photos and more information. Visiting the animals in that setting was a very special experience.
The next day, we boarded the local Hop On, Hop Off for a city tour. We sat on the top deck in the broiling sun until we were well done, then returned to The Amsterdam in time for the sailaway to the next destination.
If we are lucky enough to see Singapore again, we would like to ride the giant Ferris wheel
and we would definitely visit the Night Safari again.
