Jurong Bird Park...

Today Dave and I went out to Jurong Bird Park, a perennial favourite for me. Dave had not been, but it was a bit busy as its Singapore school holidays. We had a ride on what they call a Panorail (read monorail), did a fair bit of walking and snapped a few images. The Macaws are always worth a few shots!!

Also having got soaked yesterday we avoided the afternoon storm which was brewing big time and escaped back to the CBD in a taxi.

On the way back to the hotel we dropped into the Suntec City complex and noticed the Keith Haring poster, interesting as I saw a mural of his in Melbourne a few weeks ago
