Saturday 9th April 2011 - Day 54 - Item 55: Jurong Bird Park

So today, after a quick visit to the Buddhist temple in Chinatown to grab some beads (as you do!), we went for a trip over to Jurong Bird Park, which was not nearly as interesting as I thought it would be, but was nonetheless a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.  Apparently the waterfall aviary contains one of the largest man made waterfalls in the something or other.

Here are a few pictures from the Bird Park which will do it more justice than my explanations.  Tonight, we were meant to be off to the big Ferris Wheel Restaurant in the Sky (of Singapore) for dinner, but they were booked out......then we decided the restaurant in Marina Bay Sands Sky thingy, but they weren't answering, so now it looks like pizza and movies......just as good tee hee.  After 6hrs of walking around, I'm ready for a little bit of a rest.  And thanks go to Macca who, yet again, kept me company on my travels for the day.

Oh before I go, I have to pay homage to the AWESOME pant that I found today.  For the budget price of $15 SGD I got some 1980's style fine corduroy pant.  I'm so happy, and now have to find an excuse to wear them!!

Have a great weekend Friends.

Statues of cartoon rabbits.....not entirely sure what this has to do with a bird park, but there were there nonetheless :)

In case you can't read the sticker in the bottom right of this window it says "I may be slow, but I'm still ahead of you" :)
