Singapore, Dec 2, 2007


Our hotel is the New Seventh Storey - a plain but well-kept hotel with one of this manually operated elevators. Air conditioned, and enough of a stray WiFi signal to keep in the Internet. Heaven!

Visited the ATM, bought our nifty transportation tickets, and hopped the air conditioned double decker bus for the Botanical Gardens.


The botanical gardens are gigantic! Within the gardens is a section dedicated to just orchids, with thousands of varieties. I personally only saw a few hundred of them, so I don't know. They might be exaggerating...

These particular orchids were a very vivid purple color that instantly washes out on camera.


Some bona fide liverworts. They look similar to the Nov 30 ones from Takora Gorge.

We took a break, then went to the river that evening for a boat ride and a nice dinner of pepper crab. Tomorrow, it's the Singapore zoo!
