Day 58-59 - Singapore

Friday and Saturday we were in Singapore. We docked about 10 AM. We got off  and took a look around the shopping centers connected to the cruise terminal and we had lunch there.  Later,we went on an excursion to visit the "Night Safari". This is the only nighttime only zoo in the world.   It has only an very minimal amount of lighting  in the animal enclosures. We were moved around on  tram.
The second day we did the "Singapore Highlights" excursion. We visited the National Orchid Garden, Little India, Chinatown and  the Old Town Singapore. We finished with a little more shopping in the shopping center near the cruise terminal. We sailed at 6 PM headed for Sri Lanka.
