Day 10- Monday 10th March- Singapore

We woke up much later than we'd intended, simply because it was so dark in our room, what with the lack of windows. At 10am, we got out of bed and head straight for the MRT station. The plan had been to go to the Singapore Bird Park followed by the zoo, but upon reaching the station, we realised we had no idea where the bird park was, so scrapped that part of the plan.
When we arrived at the MRT station closest to the zoo, we saw a sign for a free bus ride to the zoo when you buy the joint tickets for the zoo and night safari, for $45, about £15. We didn't really think about it and tried to find the zoo ourselves. Two minutes down the road, we realised that we didn't have a freaking clue where we were going, so went back to the station for the free bus. A man told us about the ticket deal, and upon thinking about it, we realised it was actually very good value. We hopped in the minibus and set off.
The journey was about 15 minutes long, along motorways, in the rain. There was no way we could've walked it.
We arrived at the zoo and head straight for lunch at KFC. I had popcorn chicken, which wasn't good as the same in England, and Sarah had 'chicken crunch', which seemed to be covered in corn-flakes.
The rain started really coming down as we started our trip around the zoo with some parrots ad then moved onto proper animals. We saw otters, monkeys, orang-utans, lions, giraffes, rhinos, polar bears, crocodiles etc etc. It rained all the way, which kind of dampened our spirits, and the contents of Sarah's bag. Also, my camera battery died, which was just a pain in the arse.
We finished off our visit to Singapore zoo with a trip to the gift shop. I bought some postcards of Singapore and a toy Orang Utan with magnetic hands and feet.
Next, we waited outside for the Night Safari to open. It was still raining pretty hard and whenever Hannah pointed out that it was slowing down, it would rain even harder. The night safari opened at 6, so we had a good hour to wait. When it did open, we went inside and ate dinner at a place called 'Bongo Burgers', where the staff all dress in safari uniforms and the drinks are served in jars. My burger was amazing, but I wish I'd stolen one of the jars.
We queued up for the safari while tribal folk did a dance nearby. We were on the first tram, so the sun was just setting. We saw deer running about freely and a tapir really close up. From afar we saw lions roaming, rhinos soaking and a huge elephant with massive tusks having dinner.
The safari was wicked, and we caught a cab back to the MRT station feeling happy, even though the rain was still pouring.
