22nd November 2019

Another busy day in Singapore. We started with a riverboat cruise which showed us the city from a different perspective.

The old Hill street police station…

Boat Quay….

and the incredible edifice that is the Marina Bay Hotel which has over 2000 rooms!

Lunch was an opportunity to try the city’s signature dish of chilli crab. Delicious.

feeling replete we set off for the Gardens by the bay. An extraordinary place to visit. First stop the floral fantasy dome

 

Then to the flower dome where they we’re gearing up for christmas

And finally to the cloud forest, where for the first time ever I was fine about taking photos of pitcher plants!

As dusk began to fall we got tickets for the skywalk so we could see the super trees close up. Then down for a short wait until the fantastic sound and light performance which was crazy and incredible in equal measure. My photos could never do it justice.

 

As a footnote- we ended the evening last night with an obligatory (and delicious) Singapore sling.
