Whitewater Rafting in Thailand

This was my first rafting adventure.


Are we having fun yet? I think so!



Acting like I was actually helping paddle!

We are about to begin our river adventure.

Kenny and Glenda having a great time.

The locals watching us raft down the river.

The guides made sure that no one stayed too dry on this rafting adventure!

Elephant Trekking in the Jungles of Thailand

I loved the elephant trekking. When the guide got down off the elephant and let me sit on the elephant's neck, I was having so much fun. We actually got to ride like that for about 25 minutes. It was my favorite tour that we did on this holiday. He took several pictures of us with my camera as he walked along beside us.

After the trek, you could feed the elephants if you wanted to.

The other elehpant trek we did was a much shorter trip and did not provide the extraordinary view as the other one but enjoyed both of the tours.

Isn't she cute? She was happy to pose for a picture.

As we rode by on the elephant, we saw this guy enjoying an afternoon nap!

This guy could not speak English. He posed for a picture, took one of us and then kept smiling and patting Keith on the leg until Keith gave him a tip.

Singapore has World's Largest.....

The Singapore Flyer is the World's Largest Obervation Wheel. It took about 30 minutes to go all the way around.

Each capsule weighs 16 tons and can accommodate up to 28 people.

Each capsule is uv-protected for comfort and safety. We chose to ride it at night.

There was actually a lot of room in these capsules. You could walk around and check out the views from every direction. You were supposed to be able to see Malaysia and Indonesia but I could only see the city lights. Maybe, the daytime ride would be easier to see that.

This was a beautiful view at night from the Singapore Flyer.

A shot of all four of us while at the top of the observation wheel.

The Singapore Flyer took more than one million manhours to put together.

The wheel towers 165 meters above the city and is equivalant to a 42-story building.

Singapore also has the World's Largest Fountain, The Fountain of Wealth

Keith waiting for some wealth to be showered upon him.

Posing in front of the Fountain of Wealth. We were unable to be at the fountain during the times the water was going except for the night tour which was beautiful at night but the bus was moving to fast to get a good photo. Oh well, you will just have to picture it in your mind. lol

Sightseeing in Singapore

About to begin our whirlwind tour of Singapore.


Having a Singapore Sling at the Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel. You could throw peanut shells on the floor there.

I decided to try the fish spa at the Zoo. It felt kind of weird but my feet certainly were soft afterwards.

The fish eat all the dead skin off of your feet. Kind of gross, huh?

Stopped into the Hard Rock to have a little lunch and pick my sister up a shirt that she had asked for.

The Esplande is in the background. It is a multimillion dollar performing arts complex.

Posing in front of the Merlion Fountain.

Merlion Park overlooking Marina Bay

Getting ready to tour Thian Hock Keng Temple

This part of Singapore is known as "Little India".

It was very crowded and other than the beautiful colors and seeing the temple, this area did not hold much interest for us.

Clarke Quay comes to life at night with a feast of dining, entertainment and shopping.

Sri Krishnan Temple

Even tourists are allowed to enter the temples and even take photographs but you must remove your shoes before entering.

Colorful washing fluttering in the sky is referred to as "Flagpole Laundry".

Rubbing the Buddha for good luck.

Posing in front of the many temples we visited.

Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple

Posing Singapore's Changi Airport. It has a reputation of being one of the finest airports in the world.
