Big trip part 9 - Sentosa Island Singapore

We let the hotel travel rep talk us into going on an organised tour of Sentosa Island. It was a good tour but a bit rushed with no time in between things to chill (or take bathroom stops!!)

In the cablecar on the way to Sentosa. We wanted a glass-bottomed car but didn't get one!

The building site is enormous. It's going to be a casino and theme park in 18 months' time.

Turtles, peacocks and sideways fish.

The dolphin show was good, although we nearly had to have words with a rude child who moved his chair right in front of us just before it started. Fortunately his parents moved him over a bit.

The merlion - symbol of Singapore. You can go up and walk about on its head - which of course we did!

On the way down to the beach for a light show!


The show was really cheesy until the lights, lasers and fireworks started, then it was pretty cool!
Using water as a projection screen is a very novel idea.


I think Melanie must have been suffering from heat exhaustion when she took this :)
(Yes it was deliberate - she did several)
