As usual, we can only check in on Sunday after our busy Ashley finished her 2 CCAs!! And since check in time is only possible after 3pm, so it's just a nice timing for us! And we, rather I, decided not to bring our helper along, reason being, no decent bed/mattress for her to sleep in and I really don't want her to feel we bring her along to help out and not giving her a proper place to rest!
For this staycation, we decided to pop by Gardens by the Bay since it's just a stone throw away from MBS...
Under the hot sun, the walk to the 2 domes were killing ME!! And with my Adwin whining how hot and tired he was, makes me hotter!!! And to make things worse, the queue to get the tickets were so long that even after getting them, we may not even make it to finish the 2 domes, not to mention their closing time is at 7pm!
This picture was taken at the link bridge from MBS to the Garden...
Anyway, after we saw the long queue for ticketing, we decided to pop by Bakerzin for dinner!! Haha... And surprisingly their menu is looking better now... At least my kids are enjoying their dinner and we get what we enjoyed too!
After dinner, we stayed to catch the daily light performance... OCBC garden rhapsody @ 7:45pm Something free and relaxing. We had bought some ice creams to try, it's interesting that they had created the ice cream flavours using flowers as they were being sold in the garden, but it's not cheap!
This was the first time we got a room with a bath tub and it's been a long time since the kids had fun in one!! But WL had a tough time trying to shower them in one! LOL...
Its so sweet to see my 3 sweet darlings in the morning in their pyjamas!
We decided to spend our day in the 2 domes on day 2, especially when it's a Monday, it should not be as crowded as a Sunday! Starting off with the Cloud Forest. We spent about 2 hours in the first dome! There were lots of pretty orchids and it's a good place for photographers, as we saw many with their big DSLR cameras, taking close shots of the pretty flowers! And I love the waterfall at the entrance!
The next dome, Flower dome, consists of mainly plants from around the world which we hardly recognize or see! Ehm, as am not a plant lover, this dome was really boring to me.. :p but still, we took at least an hour plus to finish.
We finished our day in the garden going up the OCBC Skywalk after our dinner at the Peach Garden (not impressive with the food... ): ) a very interesting skywalk... Love all the photos taken here!
The kids had been looking forward to their swimming session... But first time having a swim at night! And this is also Alvan's first dip in MBS!!
Am so glad we had this chance to visit the Garden by the bay... It's really amazing how they had built such a nice garden in the island of Singapore!
