We are not going anywhere for holiday during this
school holiday season, since we already went back to
Jakarta during
Hari Raya festival last October. Therefore, last Saturday (23 December 2007), I took Inka and Irza to
Sentosa for a short half-day sightseeing.
We reached Sentosa at around noon, and after parking our car at the
Beach carpark, we took the
yellow line bus straight to
Dolphin Lagoon.
There was a promotion for
Singaporeans and
Permanent Residents only, the combined Dolphin Lagoon and
Underwater World admission fee is only around $13 for adult and $8 for child (compared to the usual $19 for adult and $12 for child). Inka and Irza also attended the "meet and greet" session with the dolphin after the show, where they had the chance to touch the dolphin.
After the show, we took the red line bus to
Imbiah Lookout for lunch. The red line bus we took is an open top-deck bus similar to the
Hippo bus, so Inka and Irza were having the great time enjoying the view from the top deck of the bus.
We had our lunch at
Sarpino's Pizzeria, located in Imbiah Lookout. After lunch, we took the blue line bus to
Siloso beach bus stop. Our first stop is
Fort Siloso. We took the Fort Siloso tram from the tram stop near Underwater World to the entrance of the fort complex at Fort Siloso Square. Inka and Irza were having a great time playing at the playground and explore the tunnels there.
Our next stop after Fort Siloso is Underwater World. The entrance fee has been paid together with the entrance to Dolphin Lagoon, so it's a waste if we skipped it. There's an interactive pool where we can have a close encounter and touch stingrays. Inka and Irza were also having a great time in the acrylic tunnel inside the giant aquarium.
From Underwater World, we took a leisure stroll along Siloso beach, before going back to the Beach carpark using the beach tram. Unfortunately, the tickets for the
Songs of the Sea shows has been sold out for the day, so we had to skip it. Will schedule to watch the performance another time later. :)
