_Stunning Singapore

We noticed a recent campaign in the press extolling the virtues of visiting “Stunning Singapore” and it reminded us of a recent short stay in that City and the amazing Gardens by the Bay.  If you get the chance, it is well worth the visit and especially the Cloud Forest, with its massive dome encasing a mountain, offering a slow spiral climb through rainforest trees and vegetation and then a separate spiral walk back to the ground . .

. . and it is cool inside the dome with its lush greenery, so an unexpected but welcome respite from the outside heat / humidity.  Alternatively, visit the UNESCO heritage listed botanic gardens – another impressive green area of the City, especially if heat and humidity is your thing – although even the locals say visit early in the morning!
