14 July 2012 (Sat):
We went to Garden By The Bay. Looking at the directory, there are 2 ways to get there by public transport.
Take the mrt to Marina Bay Station, exit A & take bus service number 400. Alight 4 stops later. Or take the mrt to Bayfront Station, exit B & walked along the underground linkway.
We arrived at Marina Bay Station only to find its raining heavily. The bus stop from the station is not covered & i'm too lazy to put on raincoat for the kids. So what to do but to take the mrt to Bayfront Station instead. Luckily, its only 1 stop away.
Once we walked up from the linkway, the rain has stopped. What wonders! One minute it was raining heavily, the next, it practically stopped.
And yes, looked. You can see MBS behind you. Its linked by a bridge to GBB ( Garden By The Bay)
We walked around the Heritage Gardens & explored the different type of plants.
We purchased tickets for the 2 conservatories @ $20/adt & $12/chd for local citizens. For tourist, its priced at $28/adt & $ 15/chd. They have special rates for senior citizens too.
Inside the Cloud Forest, we spent quite sometime at this man-made waterfall. We loved the strong cool air & the mist the falls created.
** Note: do bring along a jacket or shawl. Its cold inside.
There were many, many, many different varieties of flowers around. They were brought in from around the world.
And the kids couldnt resist taking photos here & there.
We ventured up to the Lost World on the 7th floor & walked along walkways right down to the 1st floor. Its liked walking in the clouds as it was misty everywhere. Light water droplets were sprayed from everywhere.
The walkways..
We came out of Cloud Forest & the kids rushed to take photos with the baby elephants, lions & tigers.
We went for a late lunch & let me tell you, the food at GBB does NOT come cheap. No....
After lunch, it on to the next part of GBB, the Flower Dome but that's for the next post. Will be back.
