Sentosa Island ( 70 photos )
Our first "real" touristy thing here, we spend the day on Sentosa Island. We were both expecting it to be very over-the-top touristy, but it wasn't as bad as we thought.
After a long walk which got us about half way, then a taxi for the rest as we gave up in the heat of the day, we took the cable car over to Sentosa, refusing the glass-bottomed variant on offer.
Suffice to say we have had yet another very good day, including a monorail ride, rainforest walk, beers on the beach, feeding peacocks, spotting monkeys, butterfly enclosure, Liz touching a snake, swimming, etc.
The only down side to the day is that my camera is playing up. Seems to dislike being powered on and off. However, we still managed to get enough shots in for the day, which is the main thing. I'll now have to try to get it serviced somewhere in London, which could be another adventure. Of course, this all happens after the three weeks of extensive testing before we left Sydney.
We're not sure what tomorrow will hold - will probably wander up to the Internet place again. Most of what we wanted to do has been done, yet it seems a waste to laze around by the pool.
It's mighty tempting though...
