Singapore ~ Day 1: Zoo and Night Safari

While home over Christmas, I received the news of the first deployment extension (which was soon followed by the second!!). So, instead of Rodney coming home in March (2007), I went to see him in.......

 SINGAPORE!!

I had a right seat to get a decent picture of Mt. Fuji with my little camera!!

Our first adventure was the Singapore Zoo!!

Rodney trying to make friends with one of the cuties!!

One of the cool things at this zoo was that the branches and swinging vines for all the monkeys actually went over the walking paths, so you could be walking along and have all these creatures swinging and hanging around over your head!

Now, what you can't see happening in this picture that has Rodney all laughs, is the baby orangutan that is pulling on his shirt!!
There's the baby!!

I got to see me some Jackass Penguins from South Africa...

The white tigers were simply regal!!

Another cutie!!

Some of the vegetation was quite amazing----check out the huge ferns growing in/on this tree.

And the orchids were to die for!!!

Next up---the Night Safari!!

The Night Safari was the opportunity to see the nocturnal animals in action in their habitats. Sadly, neither of our cameras took good "in the dark" pictures, so we didn't really get any animal pictures. But, they opened the Night Safari with a fabulous fire show!! These "Fire Eaters" are from Borneo.
