Sentosa Island Fun

The Singapore Science Museum is terrific! An outdoor water play and learn park, an outdoor kinetic energy play park and wonderful interactive learning programs throughout. We went especially for the China Inventions exhibit they are currently running as well as an IMAX (actually in the round like the Planetarium in NYC) showing of a movie on the first Chinese emperor. Wished we'd had more time to explore, but the kids really enjoyed the time we had. Lunch at McDonalds which had a few Asian selections to the menu and off to the famed Sentosa Island.

Sentosa Island is a resort at the southern tip of Singapore. We took a cable car over the beautiful harbor (biggest container ship harbor in the world, did I hear?) to the top of Sentosa and the kids rode a luge down to the beach. Abby and I drove down in the car and meet them at the beach. We walked to a club on the beach, the original is in Spain, and settled into rattan couches for late afternoon drinks. The kids swam and played on the beach. As the sun set, we headed further down the island to Underwater World, the highlight of which was walking under an acrylic tunnel and watching dozens of sharks swim above us within inches. Very interesting and Atlantis type experience which we topped off with dinner on the beach at a brick oven pizza restaurant.

The kids want to come back to Sentosa!
