Day 2- Gardens by the Bay

We started the day with breakfast at the buffet in our hotel. As well as the usual buffet items -fresh fruit, yoghurt,  eggs, sausages, baked beans, hash browns, toast with jam and other bakery items, they had dumplings and other Chinese inspired yum cha type dishes. I decided to start with fruit with yoghurt and honey and a cappucino, and then finished with a hash brown.

After breakfast we went back up to our rooms to decide what the plan of attack was for the day. We agreed that the one thing we all wanted to do was go and see the Gardens by the Bay. Fortunately, it was walking distance from our hotel, and after getting a little lost we eventually got there. It was pretty spectacular and we walked over a steel bridge and walkway, high above the trees. The views and the scenery were spectacular. There were plants and flowers of many different varieties everywhere, as well as a huge man made waterfall. It was like being at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory!

Back at the hotel we had a cup of tea before heading back to our rooms.

Dinner was at the hotel's restaurant, and it was a set menu with 5 small courses, and a clear jelly with fruit for dessert. It was difficult to pick a favourite, I enjoyed it all, but the steamed piece of fish was definitely one of the highlights.
