Singapore. Day 11. Part 1 of 2

Started out like a normal day – we biked to the MRT. Took 2 trains and a bus to the MacRitchie Resevoir Trails. This was my chosen “can’t leave Singapore without doing this” day.

So glad the kids wore bright colors for my photos.

 

 see if you can find the spider in the first photo and the monkey in the second. the spider was almost the size of Sy's hand and the monkey was one of a dozen climbing all around us!

 

We saw 2 different snakes. (one pictured here) made us think twice about venturing into the woods to relieve oneself!

We hiked to the TreeTop Walk which is a 250m suspension bridge that is 25m above the jungle floor and has fun views of the jungle. This is what the island used to be before it became a concrete jungle. (:

This monkey attacked the pocket of the guy walking several yards (or should I say meters) in front of me because he had a poncho sticking out and it looked like a food wrapper. Jo & Kik walked back over to me and escorted me to the other side of the animal. Mom was brave and came on her own.

We climbed the Jelong Tower. (Jo at bottom)

More spectacular views – Ky took a photo for her orthodontist here.

We hiked 8km total on the trail (in addition to biking to the train, and other walking to and from bus stops, etc). Lots of exercise to be had here!

This was the 3^rd skink Jo found and I finally got a pic. I don’t know how the kids find these little animals! They also found a 9” millipede up in a tree and various monkeys in trees, etc. along the trail.

So cute. I know I overdo the pics from behind, but it makes my heart happy when they are being sweet together. If they see me taking a picture, they pose, so I have to grab them from the back!

Frog. Look down near the car to see a monkey family!
