Quack Quack


This duck was out
Duck whistle=imperative
Knowing nothing about Singapore, what better way to tour the town than in a DuckBoat? Uh, sure. Why not. Will said that this was a must, that DuckBoats are seriously cool and that Wyatt would go nuts over it. (*FYI- OK. Will did not use the term seriously cool.- I just got caught up in the moment.) Now finding the stinkin' DuckBoat place almost drove me to kick someone's face in (in a nice way), though thankfully this was not necessary as we made it there- FINALLY, after multiple tries with a variety of different directions from people who had no idea what they were talking about. *WHEW*. Holy run-on. Wyatt was psyched though-primarily because he was picturing this Duck Boat as some kind of transformer thingamajig...wheels on the road, turning into a boat upon hitting the water and fighting huge monstrous Singaporean lockness monsters of doom. In hindsight, I believe he was a bit disappointed by the "transformation." Granted he was asleep for the greater part of the trip but....bygones. I took a bunch of cool pics from the water, attempting throughout the duration of the trip to understand a fraction of what our tour guide was saying above the sound of the motor and the speed at which she was speaking. I unfortunately was unsuccessful, (though a cabby later in the week gave me the 5 cent Singapore tour and I was filled in on everything I had missed...I loved that guy!) All in all it was pretty cool, though, again expensive- but worth it- I mean, I know I was a bit sheltered growing up, but has anyone else heard of a Duckboat?? I can now say been there done that. Quack Quack. 




Sweating on trek home. Done and Done.
