Reunited with Island Club (and the jungle)

Today we are going to hang out and stay at the Marina Bay Sands hotel thanks to some connections from our uncle.  We're going to relax and then have dinner for Caroline's bday (tomorrow she turns 26!!).

But first!  Food.

We met up with Aunty Vicky and went to Island Club for breakfast.  Our family has been taking us to the Singapore Island Country Club for as long as I can remember and the food is really good and relatively cheap if you sit poolside. We haven't been in a long time.

apparently the birds got a little crazy there so they had nice looking bird repellent gel to keep them from sharing off our plates.

After breakfast we trotted off the the treetop walk to see the jungle from in the inside (and above).

this sign was at the entrance to the trail that lead to the jungle...kind of intimidating if you ask us



be careful! and don't feed the monkeys!

After the treetop walk we went back to mama's house to change and pack for the evening.  We then headed off to lunch at Imperial Treasure with Aunty Vicky and Aunty Kok Huang.
