 Part of our Oceania tour took us to the Flower Dome in Gardens by the Bay. Loved it. |
 Fishes, Flower Dome |
 Year of the Dragon is a week away. We saw many artistic dragons on this cruise. |
 Dragon, Flower Dome |

 Beautiful blue dragon for Lunar New Year |
 We went to the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay - Wow! |
 Out the window we saw the Singapore Flyer with buildings in the Tanjung area behind. |
 Cloud Forest with walkway |
 The boat shaped hotel of Marina Bay Sands Hotel; beautiful day, night, or at dusk. |
 Our bathroom at Fullerton Hotel was huge. So glad Oceania gave us this mostly-free extension. Classy! |
 Some natives call the Esplanade buildings "the durians" after the spikey fruit. I call them the microphones. |
 The area around Merlion at night is always crowded as people wait for the light show on the river |
 Outside the Cloud Forest. The whole park is awesome. |
 Not to be missed is the "Rhapsody" light show at the Gardens by the Bay. |
 Free every night. |

 Statues without torsos at the Flower Dome. |
 Cute creatures & kumquats. Kumquats are everywhere in SE Asia. |
 Ruth & Howard, Marina Bay Flower Dome |
 Howard & I took a taxi to Haw Par Villa, the former Tiger Balm Gardens. It was hilarious. |
 There is only a one way ticket to Hell. We bought one way tickets. |
 First up at Haw Par was some "learning" |
 At Haw Par skulls early on set the tone |
 One of the dioramas outside. Reminded me of a well-frosted cake. |
 King Biancheng court punishment for pornography is sawing a man in half. |
 King Biancheng is King of Transformations. When you leave his court you could be half a man. |
 Going to Hell |
 Another diorama |
 Not all dioramas were courts of hell |
 Haw Par claims to have 1000 statues. |
 We never walked all the way up to Nirvana. But at least we (kind of) got out of Hell. |
 Our Oceania tour took us to Raffles Hotel to the Long Bar with its expensive Singapore Slings |
 Marina Bay Sands by skate park |
 Flyer wheel blue with reflection taken from near skate park |
 We were taken to the ship. The cable car to Sentosa Island went completely through a building on its way to the island. |
 As we sailed off from Singapore, I saw this fun structure |
 Haw Par Buddha on top of pagoda at the top level of park |
 Ruth with the wrestler |
 At the SOL halfway across the world |
 Hill St Central Fire Station, oldest in Singapore |
 Howard & sumo wrestler |
 Pagoda at Haw Par |
 Supertrees in the day time |
 Marina Bay Sands with Art Science shimmering in afternoon light. |

 I would have liked to have gone over to Sentosa, but in the end decided to just stay on the ship. |
