My last day in Singapore.  I didn’t get up early enough to go exploring before it got too hot.  It was overcast so that helped.  I went to the botanic gardens.  So, if you don’t want to see way too many pictures of plants, then today’s blog is not for you.  It was hot, but not unbearable until about 2:00pm.  I only saw about half the gardens.  There was so much more I wanted to see, but the heat chased me out.  I loved the ginger garden.  So many plants I didn’t realize were ginger or related to ginger.  Banana trees are related to ginger.  Who knew?  I also loved the Evolution Garden.  It started out as just rock and water like when the earth was born and transformed as you walked through it as the plants on Earth would have transformed.  They even went to the detail to have dinosaur tracks on the path during that time period and animal tracks during a later period.  I was quite impressed with the gardens.

I went a shopping center in the Orchard Road area.  It was one that Pat recommended.  It was where she found that perfume the cheapest.  It had a very similar feel to a Thai mall.  It was huge and I gave up on it pretty quickly.

Went out to dinner with Judy, Andy and Ivan.

Here are a bunch of plant photos.  Go.
