3rd visit to River Safari - boat ride!

We are finally here again for our first boat ride!!!  And as the day was a public holiday, Good Friday, we left early as we need to get the tickets for the boat ride!

They have about 230 seats for each 30 minutes boat interval. But by the time we reached the counter to get our tix, it's only for 11:30am onwards slots... The boat ride starts from 10am... But the sad thing is, my Alvan is not allowed due to some his height!! For a child to get onboard, the height limit is 95 or 100, forgot!! Hahaha...

Anyway, this time, we caught the mascot right at the entrance and my Alvan is not afraid of it at all!! Unlike his korkor and jiejie, they got scared of mascots from young...

Our first selfie using my monopod and my shutter button!!! Hahahaha... Dunno what we had as background but it was kind of fun!!! And my Ashley was snatching to press the remote shutter button!!

Father and sons catching the big alligator!!

Another selfie with super big fish behind us!!  Finally we 'caught' the fish as background!!! Lol...

As usual, Jia Jia is always out of sight, so took a shot with the statue!!

The weather was not so good when it's time for our boat ride and we had to buy their ponchos to get on the ride. And since Alvan can't get onto the boat ride, we need to alternate our rides, each of us with one child at a time, Alvan, Ashley and WL were at the waiting area, so once we are done, WL and Ashley will get on the boat ride from the waiting area, no need to queue at the main queue, which I  thought is a nice thoughts from them!

The back view of the poncho!!!

This is the map of where the boat ride will be going and what we can be expected to see!! It's actually a very short ride, but the queue was pretty long and given the bad weather condition, we (me and Adwin) were in the queue like for an hour!!! As there were some lightning, the ride was stopped for awhile... But there's still come drizzling when we hoped onto the boat...

The boat will be elevated once we board it, this is about a storey high only and my children were disappointed, as they thought it would be like a roller coaster ride!! Hahaha... But anyone seated on the first row, were expected to be wet from the splash!!! So my Adwin refused to be seated on the first row, except for Ashley!

This is the priority queue from the waiting area, as opposed to the main queue directly opposite us!


We left for a late lunch after the boat rides and along the way home, we passed by this Sembawang country club along Sembawang road, I remembered seeing some restaurant banners outside so WL thought to go in for a look!!

And only a small cafe was spotted, and a Pat's school house, and a big helicopter was on display!!! So impromptu decision to get out of the car for another selfie!!! Lol... But didn't managed to get a full view of the helicopter, it's blades were missing!!! Hahaha... :p

End of our fun Good Friday holiday!!! :)
