365

One of the goals for this year is to take a picture, at least one everyday. While this is not a new activity for many, this is my first attempt at this feat. So, today I will share a few of my pictures of the Botanical Garden here in Singapore. It is a shame to say that I have lived in Singapore for over 4 years and this was my first trip into the garden proper. It will not be my last.


 
 
 
 

Raffelsia

The largest flower in the world. We were lucky enough to see one of these flowers in bloom. They bloom for 7 days, but take 7-9 months to reach maturity. While the flower is supposed to stink, we didn't smell much, but then again we were about 20 feet away.

We will be setting off for KK in just over a week. 4 days of sun and relaxation in Sabah. We will be traveling with the kids, the helper and the "grandparents" so our flight will be full of giggles and administrative nightmares. Because we don't own a car in Singapore, the best thing we can do is to book a Maxi Cab to take us and our luggage to the airport. Otherwise it is two taxis.

we fly out a 8am and arrive around 10:30. It should be a short drive to the Hyatt hotel and then straight to the pool for some play.

While in KK we hope to go to the National Park (Mt. Kinabalu) and perhaps take a train ride up the river. We also hope to do some island hoping while there. Me, personally, I just hope to get some rest before the month of January....

Train Station to nowhere

At the edge of the DMZ. Fancy, new, ready and waiting for passenger travel that may never come.
