In a world full of contrasts we are enjoying a stunning day in Singapore. A few days ago we were camped in a minuscule tent on an uninhabited island and now Sally is drinking mock tails ( a Juliette) in the sky! We are ‘on board’ the ‘ship’ that sits on top of three towers some 57 floors high! It is called the Marina Sands Hotel and is ‘the most Instagrammed hotel in the World’. I can see why.
The rest of the day we spent wandering around the extraordinary botanical domes and super-tree groves in the ‘Garden by the Bay’. Quite astonishing to enter the Cloud Forest Dome and go from equatorial heat to the chilly mists and 6 story high waterfalls of a forest of tree ferns and kauri.
Despite the jet lag and the prospect of a 2am departure for Manchester this has been an amazing stopover!
