Singapore - Gardens by the Bay

Singapore continues to develop the Marina Bay area with a set of botanical gardens, including an indoor cloud forest and flower forest, housed inside some very unique buildings.  There are also numerous "super-trees" - basically large metal frames with hydroponic plants attached to the structure.  This was fun to explore.

Sarah on a carved wooden elephant (there was a whole herd of them - elephants and kids...)


Lauren found a carved tiger instead

We dubbed this the "Hershey Kiss Tree"

View from the hotel of the gardens

Same view at night

Walking on the suspended platform in the super-trees


One of thousands of plants in the gardens

The gardens are in the background...just had to throw in this picture of Ashley with a hot tub all to herself.  Quite the view from 600 feet up.
