2. Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Today we visited the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve in the north of the island - just a few kilometers from the border of Malaysia. Just as we arrived with the taxi, another storm was coming - and with that another hours of intense rain (Hit by the jetlag, we started our day later than planned...so, damn). However, the taxi took 20 minutes to get there (by MRT would have been 1 hour), so returning was no option.
The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a complex of mangroves, rivers and lakes, so the rain was ideal for the atmosphere (but not for sensitive Europeans).

We observed and watched some typical animals of the region as birds, mudskippers or reptiles (sadly, no crocodiles 😪) for the next few hours.

When we wanted to return to the center of Singapore - no taxi was coming. So we had to take the bus to the next MRT-station and decided to stopp at the Orchard road.

After a traditional meal, we continued our way down this famous shopping road to the Gardens by the Bay again - where we finally enjoyed the lightshow.Read more
