Walk among flora in Singapore’s famous Orchid Garden

As I was staying in a hotel on the other side of the town I used the double decker hop on hop off buses to get around as there was a stop near to the hotel. They are on the hour every hour and found them a fantastic way to travel around the city with stops and pick ups within a short walk to the gardens and other attractions.

The taxis are a very reasonable price and costs about $20-00 Singapore dollars from one side of the town to the other, likewise the bus services.

There is also the M.R.T. (Mass Rapid Transport) train service that has stations all over Singapore. There is an M.T.R. Station in the far north corner of the gardens.

Due to the heat in Singapore which was about 35 degrees and very humid it is not unusual for thunder storms in the afternoons which don’t seem to last that long. All I can say is enjoy this beautiful paradise. I spent about four hours but you could be there all day.
