The last and one of the best days in Singapore 23 June - Maverick scribed by Lucy

The last and one of the best days in Singapore
Squark! It's me again the amazing, flying, Maverick the kakapo! Today we started off with the worlds biggest breakfast! Sorry, buffet. Though, it was a very big buffet so there was lots and lots of yummy food, though, I had to stick to fruit. There were many variations of food including: pastries, toasts, cereals, juices, cooked breakfast, fruits, nuts, Japanese breakfast and probably a whole lot more! But enough about fruits and buffets and Japanese breakfasts, Lucy had a plan to eat a little bit of everything, she tried fruits, cereals and pastries.  Everyone else had a similar feast. After they  ate themselves silly they had a short break, then, as planned, they caught a train to the Singapore gardens.

The Singapore gardens! They were beautiful! (In my opinion anyway, SOME people *cough * sam*cough*cough didn't enjoy them to their full extent and were more worried about who got to hold me) it wasn't only one garden but a whole bunch of them! (We only had time to go to the cloud forest and we spent something crazy like two whole hours there!) Even walking around on the pathways was beautiful, there were lots of sculptures there and to name a few, there was an ants on a log sculpture, a red ants on a log sculpture and lots and lots of woodcarvings of lions!

After wandering around aimlessly, (aka trying to find the cloud forest) we finally found the cloud forest. If  everything else was beautiful, this was spectacular! It looked just like a real cloud forest. Wait, you don't know what a cloud forest is? A cloud forest is a big forest high up in the mountains at just the right temperature and altitude for incredibly rare species of plants and animals to grow and thrive. As much as my dear friend the kea would love it here, unfortunately, there are no cloud forests in New Zealand as my home country is too flat. They are mainly found in between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Sadly, these cloud forests are getting cleared out for farmland and rice fields. So, being in a realistic artificial cloud forest was as close as we can get with out going to America or Australia.

We explored the cloud forest and found many carnivorous plants, one type of plant they didn't have, though they did have awesome lego sculptures representing the actual plant. Onewas a rafflesia, (search it up). We saw Venus fly traps, honey dew plants, and many, many plants. After  two interesting hours of looking and learning about plants, we decided to wander on back to the train station. While walking back we saw one of the gardens main attractions: The giant flowers. These flowers were made of long beams of metal and looked like they were at least 500 metres tall! After wondering at how tall the flowers were, my family and I wandered back to the train station.

In the train, which was pretty much empty, apart from the occasional person. We took the train to the airport and had to skedaddle at 12 o'clock for an early afternoon flight. Unfortunately for the convenience of air travel, we found a massive chocolate shop. Yup, Daim bars, Kit Kats, Tobletone, and M'n'Ms. The Kit Kat bars were instantly opened.

Wow, time goes by when you shop for chocolate, or anything. It was time to board the plane. It was only a short hop to Penang, not like that silly six flight we had. I spent the time, eating, drinking and wondering how they still conjuncture up these weird untastful meals. When we got to Penang we relaxed for the rest of the day then went exploring.

Around dinner time, we were looking at maps at the area. Lucy spotted a cat cafe not far from their house. Squaark! I'll stay here thank you! At home Poodle wasn't interested in me, a good yet sometimes annoying cat at heart. But I hate other cats. They will try to rip off my wings and eat all my young. Having eight cats in one room pretty much spells disaster. In the end I went to have food with the family at Mish Mash, a restaurant.  Because, the cat cafe only had desert they had dinner elsewhere. Squaark, Squaark and double Squaak! That place was like the heaven on all cat lovers, and a nightmare for me. The cats were contained in a room and you can bet I stayed outside that room. After that torture, the family walked home and went to bed

I guess that these hours are my peace hours and that's all for my blog, so Squaark or goodbye.
