Domestic Adventures

Henderson Waves Bridge

Brett and I decided to check out a couple of 'must see' places around Singapore the past couple days.  Tuesday we went on a hike through a number of parks, starting in Kent Ridge Park (the site of the last battle on Singapore ground in WWII).  From there we walked through some gardens in Telok Blangah Hill Park, then got on what was called the Canopy Trail (a path as tall as the trees! haha).  We continued hiking over the Henderson Waves Bridge, one of the 10 engineering marvels of the world?  Question mark?  Brett read it in a book, I guess :)  It was pretty neat regardless, and unfortunately tough to get a good picture of.  The bridge took us to a great spot to snap a couple of pictures of the city.

Singapore!

These photos were taken from the highest point in Singapore, Mount Faber (I think this means the highest point while you're still on the ground, those buildings downtown are clearly higher than us haha).  It was a great spot, you could see 360 degrees around the country.

Flight of the Swans Sculpture

The next day we moseyed to the botanical gardens.  While there we checked out Swan Lake and the Flight of the Swans Sculpture.  We didn't see Lancelot or Elaine though...kinda sad about that.  We also saw some lilly ponds, crazy huge trees and quite a few flowers.  I don't think that it was flower season here so there weren't as many as we hoped.  Oh well, it was cool nonetheless.
