We took to the trails today and walked about 9 kilometers. Most nature trails are simply one stretch of the same type of land, but Singapore's trails offer a wide variety of sights, sounds and smells. We started off climbing a lot of stairs that eventually led a to a walk-way above the ground, giving visitors a new way of viewing the land and an easier trek. These overhead "canopy walks" gave us not just great
close-up views of animal and plant life, but they also linked 3 or 4 different parks together across the city. There were several look out points and gardens along the way.

Apparently the macaques are quite common in Singapore: http://www.wildsingapore.com/places/monkey.htm
