Right next to the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay is the Cloud Forest Dome.They sell the entry tickets as a joint package. The Cloud Forest currently has a special exhibit, Jurassic World The Experience incorporated into the forest.

The forest is set up so smartly to keep visitors comfortable and moving. You enter at the ground level and go around the outer base of the mountain and then take an elevator up thru the interior, to the top and wind your way down via ramps and escalators. The space is so lush and tropical but comfortably cool for visitors. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was, despite the commercialism of Jurassic exhibit.

There were tons of beautiful orchids and other unique flowers along with lnteresting scultures and dinosaurs.

Again the views outside the Dome were as interesting to me, as what was inside the dome. Got a great view of the tree top walkway between the Supertrees ,out in the Gardens by the Bay park.

Mid way down the walkway there is a Team Labs Exhibit of flower projecting in the interior space. I love their creativity and the immersive experience. We first saw them in Japan.

Farewell for now, Lion City!

I loved our time in Singapore, there is so much more left to explore! I am excited that we are coming back several more times this summer & fall since this our best Port to get fuel in, during this global shortage, due to the war with Iran.

Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .

We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
