our trip: singapore's gardens by the bay

We had less than two days in Singapore, so we decided to go to Gardens by the Bay.  These gardens are perched high above the city, and offer some beautiful nature in the middle of a busy and crowded city.  The gardens are separated into two areas:  the Cloud Forest and the Flower Dome.


There were driftwood sculptures throughout the gardens.  


Afraid of heights?  Luckily, we aren't, and we went on that walkway!  The garden paths wind you around and through the different areas.



In the flower gardens, Singapore was celebrating Chinese New Year!



We didn't have a chance to do much - strolled some hawker centers, ate kaya toast (butter and coconut on thin toast, and it's so ridiculously yummy my mouth is watering right now), and checked out Chinatown.  The city seemed more relaxed than Hong Kong, where everything is loud and crowded, and I'd like to explore it more one day!
