Singapore!

So after a quick breakfast on the hostel terrace overlooking the boat quay, we checked out and were then promptly told by reception not to get on a night bus, as we had been told to do, as we would die… Nice! So after a stressful booking of a late flight to Kuala Lumpur we needed a drink!

So we walked over to Raffles Hotel and ordered a Singapore Sling each to calm our stress. Definitely did the trick!

Next we decided to head over to the Gardens by the Bay. Even walking into the outer gardens was so beautiful! First stop was the Flower Dome then on into the Cloud Forest. I have never seen so many beautiful flowers in one place! I just wanted to walk Around and smell them all day!

After the cool retreat in the domes we went out and up into the Supertree Grove and OCBC Skyway. From the skyway we had the most incredible views over the gardens and Singapore, such good weather for it as well!

After a few hours in the gardens we went over to have Afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It was so good, so many tiny courses but each packed with so much flavour!

Now for a late flight to Kuala Lumpur and sleeping in the airport til 7am tomorrow morning! Happy days haha!
