Singapore, Singapore Mar 17th

Today we ventured out on our own for a walk through the city park near the cruise terminal. There are several parks, up above the city, that are connected by various bridges and walkways. Singapore is truly a garden city with millions of trees lining their streets and highways. They have a goal in the next few years to plant another million trees.
We set out for the walk with the goal to cross the bridge called Henderson Waves. It's a bridge very high above the city in the hills and we actually hiked up many steps to the top of the hill where the aerial gondola connects part of the smaller island with the larger part. There were a lot of steps, we climbed a total of over 600 ft.
It was a hot humid walk, but a real treasure to experience the hike and bridge over parts of the city. We made it over Henderson Waves and to the terraced gardens in Telok Blangah Hill Park. Saw a White Created Laughingthrasher bird, very unique! We did not do the entire Southern Ridges walk, it is more than 6 miles one way and we did not have the time. Fantastic way to finish up our visit to Singapore.Read more
