Night Safari

Our shuttle to the ship was at 11:30 so we slept in and had a big breakfast. We still got to the ship before our rooms were ready, so we had a champagne and chatted. We managed to while away most of the day.
Our tour for the day was the Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo. This was quite unique - the natural areas were lit like the full moon was shining.
The animals were active and in many cases they were feeding. We started with a tram ride. The animals were often only ten to twenty yards away. Highlights included the Striped Hyena, Lions, Cape Buffalo, the Malayan Tapir, Sambar Deer, and the Asian Rhino. Then we took a short walk to see Mouse Deer, the Fishing Cat, the Himalayan Thar (goat) and the Asian Otter. We ended our evening with human torches in a Thumbuakar dancing performance. All in all an interesting evening.
