We Rode an Elephant!

First thing in the morning the Indian cadets left, and after an exchange of gifts and farewells we waved them off as we left for the zoo. We visited Singapore Zoo and Singapore Botanical Gardens today, which was a lot of fun; the gardens were relaxing to walk around, but there wasn’t really much to do. We spent a few hours there before having lunch and heading off to zoo.

The zoo was pretty cool, they had white tigers, alligators, lions, giraffes, komodo dragons, snakes, flamingos and loads more. Oh, also, I RODE AN ELEPHANT! The zoo was different to every zoo I’ve been to in the past, all the paths were lined with trees and it seemed slightly like walking through a jungle. Not really much to write about to day really, but we’ve got weapons training (no live firing unfortunately) and paintball again tomorrow, which I’m looking forward to.
