Definitely the highlight so far!! Singapore wants to be known not for the garden in the city but as the city within a garden. These gardens are truly amazing.
The Cloud Forest, with it's 35m waterfall, is filled with many exotic plants all interspersed with glorious orchids of myriad shapes and colours. This was just fantastic and well worth a visit.Læs mere

Staying at the InterContinental Hotel - a beautiful Colonial-style hotel with excellent service and amenities.
Went to the Peranakan Museum yesterday and it's well worth a visit. The Peranakan are a mix of Malay, Indian and Chinese heritage and the women were expert embroiderers. Saw an exquisite tablecloth embroidered with over one million tiny coloured beads and gold thread. The Wedding exhibit was amazing - Peranakan weddings traditionally went for 12 days and the exhibits higlight each stage of the wedding ritual. Second photo shows a typical Peranakan wedding procession with bride second on left
next to groom.Læs mere

Caught the MRT to Marina Bay - a very easy way of travelling around - ultra clean and modern - very impressive. Marina Bay Sands is mind-blowingly
massive and the view from the top is worth the expense. From there we could see our next stop.......Læs mere

The Flower Dome has gardens from the Mediterranean and sub-tropical regions. Lots of Kangaroo Paw from Oz, enormous palms and olive trees thousands of years old. As well as amazing orchids and beautiful floral displays that included delphiniums and hydrangeas in all shades of blue and mauve.Læs mere

The most striking structures in the gardens are the Supertrees - vertical plantings on enormous stylised trees throughout the gardens. Each night they are illuminated for a sound and light show. There's also a Children's Garden and on this visit there were many brightly-coloured characters all over the gardens, including a display with the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House and kangaroos! You never quite knew what would be around the next corner.Læs mere

Last day here. Opted for late checkout due to late flight so weve just been taking it easy and looking around. Walked to Arab Street for some more silk and on the way we came across the magnificent Frank Lloyd Wright-style Parkview Square building. It's enormous and absolutely stunning - copper statues of world leaders, musicians, writers (incl Lincoln, Churchill, Sun Yat Sen, Chopin, Dante) stand over waterfalls and the building is made of marble and granite. Saw the Sultan Mosque near Arab Street - looks imposing in amongst the shops and shophouses.
Our last hurrah and ttreat to ourselves was high tea in the lobby lounge of the hotel - the tiramisu and panna cotta were to die for and everything else was almost as good!! Thanks for a great experience InterContinental Hotel.Læs mere

Waiting to leave Dubai Airport after the circus of arriving last night having spent 35 minutes in a holding pattern over Dubai, catching a bus to the terminal from the furthest bay and trying to find the hotel in the airport!! Finally found it, had a swim and Ron went to bed to try to sleep. Still a worthwhile exercise as we both felt quite refreshed despite not sleeping much. This morning we had to catch the train to Terminal A and go through yet another security check before boarding. Security is tight for those travelling from Dubai to the United States. Sadly most of the security staff don't seem to believe in service with a smile - or anything with a smile for that matter!!Læs mere

Finally landed in the United States and boy are we glad to be back here!! (Particularly glad to be here safe and sound,having seen on the news on the plane that Iceland had declared a red alert for the volcano there and we then proceeded to fly directly over Iceland according to the route shown on the plane!!). It's been four years and thats too long between visits. After waiting for about 40 minutes in the immigration line along with hundreds of others we cleared customs and got the shuttle to Embassy Suites at the airport. Fairly basic hotel (but with Crabtree and Evelyn toiletries!) but its close to the subway, airport and rental cars. We return here from NYC in a few weeks but there's lots of fun to be had before then!! Can't wait to get to Bardstown tomorrow to see the Pointers again and enjoy a QLD or two on the deck and enjoy the view of the woods and birds. Hoping to see lots of beautiful cardinals while we're there.Læs mere

Arrived safely. Good flight on a smaller plane than we'd been used to (carries about 50 people). Wonderful to see Norman and Sue again.
