Wednesday, Feb 15, Singapore – Our ship docked in Singapore early in the morning, right across from the newly developed recreational island, Sentosa, connected to the city by an aerial cable car. Since we were returning to Singapore at the end of our cruise, we decided to take a highlight bus tour. We saw the Arabian, Chinese and the Indian neighborhoods, the Raffles Hotel, the Marina district, the government buildings, the shopping streets, but the highlight was the Botanical Garden with its fabulous orchid collection. The Garden is a very large park, lush with plants and trees, wonderful walk ways, and exceptionally well maintained. Orchids are everywhere on display but they have a special orchid center where many different types are shown. Celebrities can have an orchid hybrid named after them. They appear to be naturally growing in some places and in arrangements in other places. We are definitely going back when we return for a more slow paced visit.
