Kilometres Walked : Thursday – 14.3, Friday – 4.4.

Saturday Morning 2nd September 2023.

The second last late one! After a wonderful 13 hours sleep we hastily raced down to our buffet breakfast with 25 minutes to spare🤪. Getting our fill and several coffee’s later we were finally feeling awake enough to head off to Gardens By The Bay to see the Orchid Display. Gardens by the Bay is a horticultural treasure trove. The park spans 101 hectares in the central region of Singapore. One of the incredible indoor garden domes ‘The Flower Dome’ was where we saw the ever changing display with this particular one being The Orchid Extravaganza. Well we certainly weren’t disappointed. The Singaporean’s always do gardens well but they are just magnificent when it comes to Orchids.

Breathtaking was an understatement whilst walking through the orchid display. The colours and the finer details on the flowers were just beautiful. Through the rest of the Flower Dome are different gardens from different parts of the world and one flower that also stood out for us was the fabulous fuchsia.

After dreaming about how we would go with planting Fuschia’s on the farm we then discovered the fantastic and very artistic sculptures.

What a wonderful afternoon immersed amongst the flowers. Feeling a little weary we started to head back to the hotel with a final stop off at Lau Pa Sat for a couple of refreshing cold beers and more delicious food.

Finally heading back to the Hotel we packed our bags up in readiness for the next morning and tried to get some sleep. Even though we were both tired we tossed and turned all night with jet lag so were feeling even more exhausted the next morning when the alarm woke us up. Racing down to breakfast once again before we had to catch a taxi to the airport we gulped down several cups of coffee, enjoyed a lovely omelette then off the airport we went for the final flight on this amazing adventure. Seven hours was a breeze compared to thirteen and went by faster than expected. Before we knew it we were landing back in Brisvegas.

Enjoying a long hot shower and much appreciated cup of tea we headed into a long slumber!
