Just me and my boy at the Putrajaya Wetlands

Beautiful landscape.

The information centre is very interactive and full of fun stuff for kids. Here is a large interactive video with motion sensor.

Disneyworld 2014: Animal Kingdom, Africa, Safari Ride - Part 11

 Please refer to the previous postings.

 We then proceeded to the African section. The scene is like a market place in Nairobi.

Very quaint eating establishment with the old world charm.

The next adventure that is a must in Animal Kingdom is the Kalimanjaro Safari ride. This is a real safari ride. Real animals in their environment.

The entrance looks simple but this ride takes up the largest space in the park. We are lucky with the crowd (or lack of). We could just waltz in without any waiting.

Comfortably sitting on the large safari bus with my son all excited for the ride to start.

The first warning sign we saw as we started on the tour.

On the bus we saw a list of animals that Disney have in the park. The bus driver is also the tour guide. As usual, before we get to the see the animal, there is always an interesting aspect of the ride; crossing a swaying bridge and driving through a deep river.

Like their habitat in Africa, Disney re-created the environment for the animals to roam free.

Disney even created a savannah-like area.

We got to see a lot of animals.

The whole ride took approximately just over 20 minutes. As a continuation, there is also a walking section of the ride.

Here we get the chance to go up close to gorillas.

A silver-back gorilla.

To be continued.

Putra Perdana Park in Putrajaya - clear view of the city

The Putra Perdana Park is located at the highest point in Precinct 1. This is among the best place to enjoy a panoramic view of Putrajaya. Below is the avenue heading towards the main landmark of the park which you can see in the distance.

This monument represent the centre of Putrajaya.

The view of Putrajaya from the top of the park. On the right you can see the Prime Minister's Office as well as one of many unique bridges spanning the lake.

These pictures were taken just before sundown. You can get very interesting hues of colours.

If you turn 180 degrees from the direction on the picture earlier, the sky looks surprisingly brighter. However, this is just a trick of the light. In fact, in the photo below, you can see the moon visible in the centre.

Since this month in October, I was reminded that people in America will be celebrating Halloween. While walking in the park, my daughter found this tree that has this miniature pumpkin-like fruit.

One of the attraction of the park is this Megalith field.

Took a photo of the explanation.

At sundown, this place looks creepy!
