Sentosa Flowers (Feb. 13)

 If you know Singapore then you’ll probably be surprised that we hadn’t been to Sentosa Island before Feb 13^th!  But, alas, it is true…so sad!  But, for our first visit, we did a big one.  It was the last day to see “Sentosa Flowers.”  I had seen it advertised but didn’t really take interest until it was almost too late.

 

I convinced Paul to head over the last day of the exhibition – a Sunday!   We had a good time; lots of people, but, hey, we’re in Singapore – there are people everywhere, anyway!

 This picture is for my Mom - she loves Hydrangeas.  

 

 

Paul and I had a little fun along the way - the first picture is of Paul roaring like the lion - ha!  Maybe he needs to get out his frustrations a little more often!

  

We took the monorail to the island and then just roamed around; as simple as that! 

 

It was advertised that there were giant tulips and since I thought this was all "real" flowers I was quite disappointed to see that they were tulips but just big fake tulips - how weird?!  As the saying goes, you never know what you're going to get in Asia - always true...

The upside was that there was a whole bed of Stargazer Lilies right beside the fake tulips - Paul took a shot of me with them...heaven for me - one of my favorites :-)

We first enjoyed the flowers and then ended up hiking on a trail that took us to the beach.  I wouldn’t want to swim in that water (ships/freighters all over) but the sand was very inviting.  It was so hot that day – probably close to 95 degrees or so, but we stuck it out and had a good time.
