Sentosa Island

After arriving, we decide to have a go on the luge which turns out to be great fun - it is basically like a downhill go cart which you can steer - there is no engine, just gravity is used but you can get up to some quite quick speeds (or it feels fast anyway). We then head to the Merlion which turns out to be one of the tackiest things ever, A video explaining the mythology of the Merlion is risible and everyone gets a lucky gift for putting a coin in the Merlions mouth. We go to the Underwater world which is disappointing (KL's was much better) and also a dolphin show which I always feel is a bit cruel even if the dolphins appear to be having fun. We finish off the day on a high note by having another go on the luge (we actually debate coming back early on Monday just so we can have some clear track and get an hourly pass!).
