We slept so well last night – a real catch up – so it was
after 9am when we wandered down to brekkie.
I had an Asian style breakfast – prawn balls and ricelike porridge with
chicken and lots of little extras you could add – delicious.
We then set out to get our bearings and find a taxi to take us
to the ‘Gardens by the Bay’. These
gardens are gorgeous. The plants are all in top condition and so well
maintained. We went through the ‘Flower
Dome’ first. I was busy taking a photo
in the Australian part of the gardens when I heard my name – 3 ladies from our
cruise had seen us and came to say hello – how amazing to find each other in
this big city. The dome has planted
areas representing gardens from around the world. It is well done and the best part - it was
lovely and cool.
Time for lunch – we found a Chinese restaurant and had a
lovely meal – we knew we weren’t in Russia anymore!!!!
Next we went to the ‘Cloud Forest’ dome. So beautiful.
I took a heap of photos – of course – but so many beautiful orchids and
flowers. It would be an unbelievable
sight in the full flowering season.
Next we walked to the
Giant Tree Forest – man-made structures of giant trees which have plants
growing up their trunks. Many orchids
and other plants on display. I tried
admiring just the ones in the shade. We then went up by lift to the height of
18 floors within one of these trees to a viewing deck and had a wine.
Taxi and home next on the agenda. We waited till late, when Singapore shines with
all of its coloured lights, to go for a walk and dinner. It was still hot, 32 but a very gentle
breeze.
