The Gardens by the bay in Singapore was one of the highlights of our New Year's trip. I felt like I was exploring something on another planet. The view from our room at Marina Bay Sands looked like a jungle, like nothing I had ever seen before - on the out skirts of the city.
The Flower Dome was so enchanted. It somehow replicates the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions like South Africa, California and parts of Spain and Italy. If you are a big fan of pretty flowers, you should definitely wander around and take tonnes of selfies! I found so many of my favourite flowers Chrysanthemums, Hydrangeas - it was a beds of pink and purples.
The Cloud Forest has a 35-metre tall mountain is veiled in mist and covered in lush vegetation amidst the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. It's hard to believe all of this height in a single dome. Here, you will find plant life from tropical highlands up to 2,000 metres above sea level. It had such a Jurassic vibe and takes back thousands of years. I loved that the waterfall mist cooled us down (we really needed it).
