Month: January 2019

Off to look at some of the city. Colonial architecture all around –

.

China town –

.

.

.

Michelin Star restaurant –

.

.

Apartment blocks trying to be very green –

.

.

And then it started to rain. A real thunderstorm lasting about 2 hours –

.

.

We then just got into the Gardens at the Bay just in time –

.

Flower dome on the right and the Cloud Forest on the left. Each are superbly built structures enclosing controlled environments.

.

.

We loved the South Africa area –

.

.

King Protea –

.

.

And a giraffe –

.

.

These tin people are quite intriguing –

.

.

Now into the Cloud Forest with its ceiling to floor waterfall –

.

.

Steam rising from one of the displays –

.

.

This next garden is created in LEGO (except for the boats) –

.

.

.

And oh my goodness it’s still pouring outside over the boat –

.

.

Then you descend down the pathway –

.

.

To the enchanted garden –

.

.

And an eagle’s head fashioned out of a root –

.

.

Out for diner before the bells –

.

.

Happy New Year to you all –

.

.

.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE FOR 2019 xx🐾

A Monitor lizard just swimming in the lake –

Then we went on to see the orchids which were amazing-

Gardens at the bay all under glass-
