Sometimes the birds were bizarre. Other times the surroundings took the prize.

Many photo opportunities.

It's an Asian thing.

I love orangutans. So smart and so gentle. Unfortunately humans have more chromosomes in common with the much more aggressive chimpanzees.

Attitude.

The only shot from the Singapore Night Safari. All those people in the background are still in the queue. I am not sure the experience was worth the time we spent waiting in the queue.

Attitude. In this case, a rare glimpse.

Marina Bay Sands.
The obligatory Merlion photo.
Relaxing at the hotel pool.

Another rare glimpse.

Pouring coffee at the Toast Box. I really enjoyed this place for breakfast. Great coffee.

The 'other' Merlion at Sentosa.

Underwater World.

She just realised the camera was pointed in her direction.

Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City.

Another Kaya Toast shop. The French left their mark on Vietnam, and the British certainly left their mark on Singapore.

Homeward bound. Window seat of course.

Demonstrating to Tana, who had to stay behind, how well the NEX-5N works in near darkness.

A wasn't comfortable in this situation.
A awaiting her first flight experience. So looking forward to it.
Sentosa
Hmmmm NZ butter.
Singapore Airlines has a few little extras for children.
She is a window seat type of person.
The constraining nature of a seat belt was a problem at first.
The hotel lobby. Parkroyal on Beach Road. Highly recommended. Last iPhone photo of the trip... before I bought the Sony NEX-5N.
