Sentosa Island
Today I went to Sentosa island. I took the cable car over.
The island has several things to do, but I chiefly hung out in the butterfly garden.
Then I hung out at the insect museum….
Yes, those are real scorpions! Their legs tickled!
I took the bus/tram all over the island. I would see signs saying “Monitor Lizard Crossing”, “Slow Down for Baboons”, “Watch for Peacocks”. I thought it was a cute way to advertise for the ‘Meet the animals’ exhibit. WRONG! A monitor lizard actually DID cross the road and we had to stop the bus! I didn’t have time to get a picture, but it was quite funny. I didn’t see any baboons, though.
I did see the infamous pink dolphins. I have never seen anything like it! As these dolphins mature they turn from a light grey to a pale fleshy pink. They looked undercooked!
Here is a picture of ONE of the famous merlions (the one on Sentosa, anyway.)
I included a picture of the legend…you might be able to read it if you enlarge the picture.
