one thing about the royal plaza hotel, is that the breakfast spread is really very good. after two days of eating cold bread for breakfast in our room in sentosa, we were happy to be able to go down and sit properly and enjoy hot meal for breakfast. after breakfast we went down to the bus stand outside the hotel to take a bus to the zoo. i read the time wrongly so we had to wait quite a while for the bus. could have spent a longer time in the coffee house instead.
anyway, the bus ride was good. not many people on board. amir and asyraf, again with their psp. ariff just love buses so that's probably the only time he was under control. akmal had my berry, he listened to asmaul husna the whole ride.
we got to the zoo at about 11am. not too many people outside but we heard that there was a large crowd inside due to the holiday period. but its well spread so it didn't feel crowded. unfortunately, akmal had his one and only temper tantrum at the entrance which we were a bit upset about. he got over it quite quickly though, as we stepped into the zoo.
we took the tram first, going almost the whole area, stopping at the last stop before the entrance. we then moved on foot to look at all the animals, stopping to watch the elephant show. the boys were mesmerised by the elephants and their antics.
we had lunch at the ah menu restaurant, which served a wide range of food. it was still fully packed when we got there after 2pm but the patrons ate pretty fast and we didn't have to wait long for a table. after lunch we carried on to to look at animals stationed nearer to the entrance before going to the souveniour shop (a must at every tourist spot for me) while the boys were treated to ice cream.
this is where i bought baby jaguar who became akmal's best friend for two years, before he was finally stored away.
the boys had a nap on the bus back to the hotel. once we arrived, we decided to take a short walk around the area to see the christmas lights on orchard road.
