A stroll in the Botanic Gardens

For our last day in Singapore we went for a stroll in the Botanic Gardens of Singapore. Well, first we waited for the heavy rain to stop and then made our way there.

This park is quite big, i.e. it takes at least one hour to cross it from one side to the other. It’s divided in different areas each with a different theme and, cherry on the cake, there is an orchid garden.

Swan lake, with real mute swans from Amsterdam (I didn’t know such birds existed, but apparently they do).

 Some of the plants and flowers that can be seen nearby the Swan lake.

I could spend hours taking pictures of the nature. It reminded me of Mulu Park in Borneo, somehow. Probably because of the type of plants they have.

Ginger garden

The Palm Valley with at the back the Shaw Foundation Symphony stage where concerts are held apparently every month and anyone can come, sit on the grass with a picnic listening to the music.

Note: unlike the park, the National Orchid Garden is not for free. We therefore postponed our visit but something tells me we will visit it… with the right lenses, flash, etc. :)
