Night Safari

Last night we went to the Night Safari. It's very magical because of the darkness and the Disneyland-like, psuedo-Balinese-Fijian-African ambiance. We arrived just after sunset and grabbed a front row table to eat our Bongo Burgers while we enjoyed the tribal dance show. Frunty said his favourite part of the evening was watching the fire-breathers swallow fire and spew huge clouds of flames. Pit was a little scared because of the blasts of heat we could feel sitting in the front row.

We then took the guided tram ride past rhinos, lions and hyenas before alighting at the East Lodge. From there, we walked on the Leopard trail to see....playful leopards, porcupines, and another highlight of the evening: giant flying squirrels. The boys were amazed to see the animals spread their "wings" as they leaped overhead. They look very cuddly with a guinea pig like face, the body of a very big squirrel, and an extremely long bushy tail. We eventually went back to the East Lodge to catch the next tram to make it back to the main entrance. We passed elephants and hippos and at the end of the ride, Pit fell asleep. He kept sleeping until 8am the next morning and Frunty passed out on the taxi ride home.
