Sentosa

We spent one whole day at Sentosa. It is a small island just south of downtown Singapore. We took alot of video, so only Grandma and Grandpa get to see that. Which is probably fine with the rest of you.

Sentosa is the amusement area of Singapore. We started the day taking a cable car ride across the water to the island. The day included lots of little things to do. First, was the Aquarium. Smaller than most, but the bottom floor is a tunnel with fish swimming all around you. You just stand on a moving walkway. One thing we noticed is that we saw sea animals that we have never seen before. Something called a Sea Angel was amazing. Go google it, really neat.

There were two 4D shows. The ones that have 3D glasses and the chairs move around and water drops on you. Not bad and at least air conditioned. (Singapore is 85 miles north of the equator, so always hot and sticky). We also rode down one of the hills there on a luge. It is a small sled with wheels. A race to get to the bottom and then a ski lift back up. Terri loved wearing the mandatory helmet. Also, they have a huge Merlion. This is the symbol of Singapore. Half lion, half mermaid.

It was a fun day. The most interesting thing was the wild monkeys that live on the island. So at the food areas they are walking around and scrounging crumbs. This was a first for us.
