The Zoo

We are here! After many attempts to visit the zoo together before Desiree and Sera leave, we made it there on Wednesday. Wrong timing, not-so-well mummies and then babies and of course our unpredictable Singapore weather, we somehow managed to visit the zoo and spend a fabulous time, even with the light drizzle. Die die must go!

2 very patient babies together with Aunty Phillis and Simon waiting for Desiree & Sue-Lyn to buy entrance tickets. Half priced tickets thanks to Sue-Lyn! :)

Free range orang utans
That was not the closest we saw these guys. Guess what happened at the end of our visit.

Taking a break
A very determined Chloe keeping her eyes wide open. She skip one of her afternoon nap.

Waiting for the 'Splash' show to start

Sera checking out the crowd during the show. A full house.

Starring Pedro and Carlos the sea lions

And since we can't ride on Pedro the sea lion, we settled for the well-polished iron ones outside the exhibit

The 'drop down' orang utan

This little fellow fell off the tree and landed amongst the hedges, just couple of steps from us. Well, for a moment I thought a coconut fell, I looked up and realised no coconut tree. :p Some rustling and seconds later, this guy climb up onto the covered walkway and begin his own little exploration.

Despite all the calling and treats, he is very determined to stay put in the trees to enjoy his new found freedom. Mama saves the day! His keepers drove his mama and tiny sibling up close and he jut came down in less than a minute.
