Sentosa

Singapore - Sunday 27th of May 2007

Today we went to Sentosa Island. It was great! When we got there we went to our hired couch on th beach. Once we found the couch my sister and I jumped into the pool to escape the heat. After our swim we went to the waters edge down on the beach and swam in the sea. My sister and I swam frm the main island to another little Island where the nets ended. As we looked out to sea we could see heaps of tankers (boats). They where all really big. There was also a crusier.

Sentosa Island once was a fishing viallage called Pulau Blakang Mati. In 1967 the island was handed back to the Singapore Government before that it was a British Miltary Fortress. The Government handed back the island to teh people of Singapore as a holliday resort. Sentosa in Malay means peace and tranquility. We also went to Cafe Del Mar which is located on the shores of Sentosa Island on the beach. We went on the luge which is a go-kart and toboggan put together. They are great fun!
