Singapore 2

I guess our difficulties with the heat and humidity aren't getting much sympathy in Calgary with the snow showing up. Trick or Treaters are going to all look like Eskimos.

Today we started the day off at 6AM (Jess's jetlag is getting one hour better every day) with a tour of the grounds. We were rewarded by spotting two monitor lizards. There's a creature that looks best from a distance. The lizards ran off and hid so I didn't have to show my bravery (or lack thereof) in front of the 8 yr old. During the day we went to a very large aviary after the cab driver talked us out of going to the zoo during the heat of the day. The adjacent reptile world was closed except for a small size tank that featured prawn fishing. We passed on that. Then home for the pool. A passing thunderstorm cleared the pool a couple of hours later but also cooled things off. In the evening we went to the island's musical fountain. A lot of effort went into the show and a very large crowd seemed to like it. A bit tame for us. Blame TV.

Carolin's doing well. Yesterday she had too much sun but today seems fine. The balance is still a problem but she makes it through the day as well as any of us. We'll be home for the weekend.
