Saturday, we were Craigless, (he's in Australia), so we girls set off to explore the Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve - a fancy name mangrove mudflats. We had a choice of 3 different walks - all along a raised wooden boardwalk, of 3kms, 5kms or 7kms. We chose the 3km walk and set off to discover the wetlands wildlife. Well, before we had walked 20 metres, we saw jumping fish, spitting fish (true! - they spit water at low flying airborne creatures to knock them into the water, so they then eat them), 2 otters and a crocodile. Zoe was so excited - as usual it was she who spotted all these creatures, and then spent the next minute trying to point out the creatures to her blind mother.
We continued around the boardwalk, and it wasn't long before we discovered two large prehistoric like monitor lizards.... they were sunning themselves on the mudbank. We spotted quite a few more of these wierd creatures as we continued the walk, along with a mudskipper, dragonflies, damselflies, and a squirrel. It was a really interesting morning. By the end of the walk, we were wet with persperation - it was so humid... and hot.
On the way home, we dropped in to a Goat dairy - we missed the milking, but we got to view the goats, and Zoe had her first taste of goats milk. She didn't like it much.
There is so much to see and do in Singapore - I'm working my way through the guide book. I'm positive I won't have reached the end of the book before we leave!
