Is 110% Humidity Possible?

Not sure that it is but today the humidity in Singapore was right up there and sweat dripped from the body profusely whenever we were out in the open!

In bed last night by 6pm and slept through to around 7am this morning which cleared all the fuzz from the head.

After breakfast we left the hotel and walked into Orchard Rd, a street that you either love because of the  many shopping malls that are prolific there or hate because of the many shopping malls....

We looked for a restaurant for lunch that we had been to last trip and which sold New York style Reuben sandwiches but in the two years since has permanently closed however in the same centre found another that was suitable.

After lunch we took on the Metro (far easier and more modern than Paris) and went out to the Botanic Gardens which were Singapore’s first UNESCO World Heritage site (inscribed in 2015) and which in the orchid gardens has over 60,000 plants.

The gardens are approximately 74 hectares in area and from the gate we entered to the one we exited was a walk of 2.3kms and we barely scratched the surface of it.

The layout and the different plants and trees made for an enjoyable (if a little sweaty) afternoon 

There were also a couple of interesting creatures we sighted

We came out the “Tanglin Gate” exit hoping to find a close metro station but had to walk into and down part of Orchard Rd before we were able to jump on the metro to get us back to the hotel.

Shortly we will be back out there to get to the Italian restaurant we have booked for dinner.
