Monday 11/7/11 & Tuesday 11/8/11

Monday was a public holiday in Singapore. I don't remember why but I'm glad for it because I had a TON of fun.

Went out to Santosa island which is basically one gian resort. Universal Studios is out there along with a huge convention center, hotel and nice beach areas. It reminds me of the pictures I've seen of Spain but also almost like Hawaii. The water is more of that seafoam green / blue and clear.

We took a gondola across to the island. You can drive there as well but he view from the gondola is worth the price. I thought I was going to be sick for a minute but I was fine after that. Gorgeous views.

It drops you off at the top of the hill on the island and you can walk down or pay 12 bucks to ride a road loge thing down. I could do that 20 times in a row. So much fun!!!

THEN!If that wasnt enough we did the 30 min tour of the island on a segway. I want one now. Its a bit scary at first but I got used to it pretty quickly and had a lot of fun running around the island.

After that, lunch and beer and chilling out a bit. Headed back to town via the tram and I crashed in my room for an hour or so before braving the holiday shopping crowds in the adjacent malls again. Found some silly gift items for Bry and Nate. Have to find something for Davy.

Today (Tuesday) was the first day I felt really good. My body is finally adjusted tot he time here and I know my way around. Funny how that works. Just about the time you figure things out you go home! Had another effective meeting today and shared some best practices. Have a few things to catch up on later but off to the zoo again tonight but this time for the night safari! I dont expect there will be many pictures to share since they dont allow flash photos.

Till tomorrow!

What did you enjoy more the night at the zoo or the park?

Do you mean day zoo vs night zoo or night zoo vs Santosa? The night safari is cool. If I lived here I would go at least once a year. Santosa is like a big resort or Disneyland kinda thing. Again fun but different:)
