Exploring Changi airport

After checking in at our Singapore Airlines first class check in lounge we decided to explore the parts of Changi airport before going through security as we heard there was some cool stuff to see. There were so many fun things to do starting with the indoor waterfall which was surrounded by all sorts of Christams decorations including a super decorated tree and a Christmas village. SV's favourite thing was likely the pockemon store. There was also a massive Frozen exhibit where all the kids went to take photographs.

Wrapping up in Singapore

After the River Safari we went to see Auntie Leah and her family one more time before heading home. We stopped for lunch first though at what is essentialy our local hawker centre when we stay see Auntie Leah. Afterwards SV was keen to take the metro one more time and did the whole thing all by herself. She, as always made a friend on the train who was super nice. After arriving back at the hotel to check out, our new friend Alicia told us just to come back to the lounge for again despite us having technically checked out. We did just that after having a quick look at two more places. At the hotel Alicia was super friendly and helped SV pick out some tasty snacks so she wouldn't be hungry in the taxi to the airport. SV took a liking to her and really wanted to make sure she got a photograph with her. It was rather bittersweet having our stay wrap up and us having to leave the hotel., SV and Horsey managed to put on a brave face though.

More safari fun

The animals weren't the only attraction as there was a video game which was being launched as well. SV tried it but soon went to colouring for her passbook. There were heaps of scenes to take photographs in as well. Although the highlight was SV being picked from the audience to pat a python and get a junior ranger badge. We met a few more interesting animals along the way before finishing off at the gift shop so that SV could get her prize.

At the River Safari

Singapore has an animal park area and so we went to have a look. We didn't want to go to the regular zoo, and the night safari aparently got quite busy, so we went to the River Safari. It had displays of river animals from around the world. It was a different concept and we were curious. The locals seemed quite friendly and welcomed us with open arms, although we were a bit skeptical after the warning signs. SV appreciated the activities for kids and collected all the stamps in her passbook to get her prize at the end. 

Late lunch at Red Hill hawker centre

We stopped by the Red Hill hawker centre for a late lunch but first we walked around. The fish shop was quite interesting as it not only had fish but also frogs, newts and other criters. We each had two juices and a tasty lunch. Afterwards we caught the metro back to our hotel and relaxed in the lounge for a little while.

SV and the dolphins

We got to go see the dolphins and get in the water with them. SV was absolutely enthralled and enjoyed her experience heaps. It was quite a special experience with both SV and TV really enjoying it. The dolphins were really well trained and seemed happy to interact with us.
