Singapore Zoo.

Before we reached Singapore we had written a list of all the attraction we wanted to visited and sights we wanted to see. Unfortunately our ability to over spend (or inability to budget) meant that before we had even arrived, a few of this plans remained little more pipe dreams. The zoo however held its position as our number one must see attraction. We decided to head to the zoo first thing Thursday morning in an attempt to miss the weekend rush. We caught the MRT to Ang Mo Kio and from there hopped on the number 138 bus. We were right to head out mid week as the zoo was quiet and relaxed- made for our leisurely walk around. The zoo itself holds no cages which is something we personally hadn't encountered at UK zoos we have visited. The no cage environment made for perfect photo taking opportunities, you really felt you were getting up close to the animals- in some cases that became a reality with a number of public feeding times available throughout the day. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here- spending well over 5 hours without once back-tracking on ourselves. A great day out and a nice retreat out of the city.
