We decided to go to the Botanic Gardens today so after packing up and leaving our bags at the hotel we headed off north west on the MRT. The gardens are beautiful and very tranquil, reminding us of the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh although it felt like we were in the palm house! The gardens actually had a cool house where they grow plans and trees from the mountain areas, which was very refreshing! We spent a few hours wandering around before getting the MRT back and heading to the Muslim area and Arab Street where we had lunch at a Turkish restaurant followed by Turkish coffee which we thought would help to keep us awake for our late night flight to Sydney. The late afternoon rain started to fall so we went back to the hotel for a couple of hours before getting the MRT out to the airport. We took advantage of the free food and drink in the Quantas lounge and eventually boarded our flight just after midnight - delayed by c30 minutes apparently due to problems with the cleaning staff in Singapore. It's hard to believe that our time in Asia has come to an end although we're both really looking forward to the next phase of our adventure in Australia and New Zealand.
