15th/16th October
Singapore, a place we hadn't visited for 10years and noticed a big difference straight away. The clean Streets, the green trees, the clean waterways and skyscrapers, the gardens, the people were friendly and we just loved being there.
We visited the Gardens by the Bay, a magnifient project taking 6 years to build at a cost of 6 million dollars, whatever they do here is done beautifully as they have always done, making everything from Lakes, beaches, gardens etc.
They have built the Worlds largest glass greenhouse Flower Dome, a must see for anyone coming here. We spent all morning wandering around this amazing man made covered, air controlled garden with plants from the five continents of the world. A truly amazing place. We went to the top of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel and viewed the city by night. Went to the Flower garden for a light display to music, was all wonderful.
As we werent flying out until evening, we spent the day seeing as much as we could, so took the cablecar to Sentosa Island which was a lovely way to spend our last hours. Flew out at 9pm and spent 9 hours in the air on a Singapore flight which was bumpy most of the way, very hard to sleep but pleased to see Auckland even though a cold wind was blowing, after a couple of hours there we took our plane to Napier where we were greeted by family, friends and a warm sunny day.
Love travelling but always good to be home. Loved being in Italy and Croatia was amazing, but we think 5 weeks was long enough and once again felt very lucky to have had the opportunity to visit these places.
