Sentosa

Day: 10-09-2011
Place: Sentosa Island, Singapore


Sentosa, which translates to peace and tranquility in Malay (derived from Santosha in Sanskrit), is a popular island resort in Singapore, visited by some five million people a year.


There are lots of attractions and activities to do in this small island. (All information is available here).

Sentosa as seen from Harbor Front

There is a boardwalk which connects Harbor Front and Sentosa island, which should not be missed by taking bus to the island. It was a perfect weather to walk and enjoy the boardwalk with cloudy and a bit of drizzle.

Rail service for transportation

Connectivity between different place is very well accomplished by very frequent conveyances like Sentosa Express, Beach Trams, Fort Siloso Bus, Open Top Bus and Sentosa Bus.

Even bus..

An unexpected dance performance..

 On our way to Under water world, luckily we lost our way. We were walking on a very remote place looking for some information. To our surprise, we found 3 peacocks with one of them trying to impress other two female peacocks. Though there was drizzle, we took a risk and started clicking snapshots.

Not sure whether it is attracting female peacock or photographer..!

Perfect position

This is the first time in my life, i am looking at a peacock dancing in front of my eyes. Moreover this was not one of the attractions of Sentosa and I felt very lucky and proud to be only one of the very few who witnessed this moment. 

One more perfection..!

Dance performance lasted not more than 5 mins, just sufficient time to click few photos.

You may go now, show is over...:(

Our main target was to visit Underwater world and Dolphin Lagoon show. We were praying not to rain, as Dolphin show would not happen during rain. To our luck, show was performed. There are at most 5 shows in a day depending the weather. Since we had enough time for the show (7.00PM show), thought of looking at under water world.
