First we went to an area where you could hold live birds. It was great fun! I held four different birds. The birds had a very strong grip like a clamp. The talons of the birds were not so sharp that it was painful, they tickled more than they hurt.
The last bird that I held laying on his back with his talons in the air. His feathers were very soft and sleek.
After that, we went on a luge. A luge is like a cross between a go-cart and a toboggan. You ride it down a hill on a usually curvy path. You steer by moving the handle bars left and right. You brake by pulling them back.
Next we went to a place called the Wave House. It was in the shape of a diagonal slant. At the bottom there is a high-powered water jet shooting water up to the top. This creates a wave effect on which you can surf. It was less difficult than I expected to stay on the board. The water was so foreceful that whenever I fell off I was carried up to the top of the pool almost immediately. It felt like I was actually in the ocean when the water completely covered me, and I often got pinned up against the back board. Once the instructor had to fish me out.
It was a terrific way to spend our last day in Singapore.
