OCBC Skyway and Supertree Grove at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore

Singapore is located near the equator so its climate is a combination of tropical weather (aka really scorching hot) with high humidity, and abundant rainfall.

Towards the end of our Botanic Gardens visit, it rained really hard. Since we were pressed for time and wanted to catch the Hop on Hop off bus arrival, sister dearest and I made a mad dash for the exit. Sharing just one tiny umbrella, we made it to the bus stop totally drenched from the rain and the huge amount of sweat from exploring the Botanic Gardens. Good thing, we brought extra clothes to change into at our next destination.

The Gardens by the Bay is a nature park spanning 101 hectares with several attractions. Make sure to visit the Gardens by the Bay website to check the schedule of the attractions because they are certain days each month when they are closed for maintenance. 

Entrance to the Gardens by the Bay complex is FREE.

Ticket prices: OCBC Skyway 14.00 SGD; Supertree Observatory 14:00 SGD

Our first stop was at the OCBC Skyway, a 128 meters long airway between two Supertrees, suspended 22 meters above ground. I don't have a fear of heights so I was fine. Until the airway would shake, whenever there is a strong wind or when people walk heavily on the canopy walk. So while I enjoyed the lovely view from up there, I wanted to leave after just a few minutes. LOL

Then it was time to go down for the Garden Rhapsody show. A spectacular light and sound 10-15 minutes show, which happens twice nightly at 7:45 PM and 8:45 PM.

My favorite part is going up the Supertree Grove Observatory and seeing the skyline of Singapore at night. You take an elevator then climb several flights of stairs to get to the top of the observation deck. It was quite windy up there! A great way to end a long day of communing with nature. =)
