SATURDAY 27TH MAY - SECOND LAST DAY

 Our spectacular adventure is coming to an end and, as always, we are looking forward to getting home to family. We check out of our hotel late tomorrow and are on a plane tomorrow night. Back to the real world on Monday morning.

Trish had a morning wandering around the shops in the very large commercial complex located on the lower floors of our hotel and several adjoining hotels. They all seem to be interlinked with the commercial complex.

 

I went on our scheduled expedition being a visit to Gardens by the Bay, a very well done exhibition of gardens from all over the world. To reproduce various climatic conditions, they have very large domes being the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest. The latter contains a very impressive waterfall.

 

They have two elevated walkways, one being indoors in the Cloud Forest.

The other is an external Skyway. Very well done.

From there I went to the Observation Deck on the 56^th floor of nearby Marina Bay Sands from where one has an excellent view of Singapore including the Gardens just below.

There is an horizon pool on the roof for the use of guests staying in the complex. Looked pretty popular.

 

The picture below is of the Singapore financial district, all built on reclaimed land. The current maximum height of buildings is 280 metres but that is to be raised in the near future.

I found my way back to our hotel using the very efficient subway system, spending all of $1:50 in the process.
