And I'm glad I got there early - it was not yet too hot, and the tourist groups started flowing in when I was leaving. And it also started raining the moment I left. So, great timing!

National Orchid Garden
It's Saturday again and I got to the Singapore Botanic Gardens rather early and this time I walked through the Orchid Garden. Lots and lots of wonderful Orchids within a beautifully set Garden. Definitely worth the visit!

Lazy Weekend (Day 2)
Hm... I titled my last post 'Lazy Weekend (Day1)', so I guess I was planning for a 'Day 2' post.
But as the weekend WAS really lazy, I only went to the Botanical Garden. Took the bus there, got out on the way to buy a Singapore SIM card (so now I have a S'pore telephone number - don't really know why...). Arrived at the Botanical Garden and just had a nice stroll around, lots of people and therefore lots of people-watching for me.
I didn't take my big camera with me, but had the small 'point-and-shoot' with me. I ended up only take very few pictures, mainly because the sky very often is hazy, almost cloudy. And that doesn't really look good on photos.
BUT - I had to take a picture of this huge bronze scuplture in the Swan Lake. It just reminded me so much of the Boston Geese. So Kelley, this photo is especially for you!
And another taken near the visitor center - there were lots of kids on rollers or skate boards, but I didn't want to post them here.
There's also an Orchard Garden within the Botanical Garden, and I'll definitely come back to look at that one. Oh, and I did take the bus again on my way home. Only had to change twice. Made it! Lots of buses in Singapore - the bus directory is a little book you buy at the book store. Still looking for a useful App ;-) instead...
