The last week has been quite eventful. After a lazy Saturday I spent Sunday at the Botanic Gardens. As it had rained in the morning and it was still cloudy in the afternoon there weren't many people, which was great. Wandering through the gardens was really relaxing and refreshing. My favourite part was the "evolution garden" were I could see what nature might have looked like millions of years ago.
Since I've had a wonderful time at the Botanic Gardens this weekend was again about nature. With another German intern I went to MacRitchie Nature Reserve. As it was already late when I went there with Sairozi, this time we started at noon. During our 4 hour hike we saw lots of monkeys and lizards and enjoyed the beautiful environment. Another highlight was the tree top walk and a tower in the middle of the jungle from where the view was just breathtaking.
And it seems like I still can't get enough of parks and nature reserves. This Wednesday is a public holiday and it's one of only 5 days a year when the Istana Park is open to the public and of course I don't want to miss this chance :-) It's amazing how green Singapore is. Even though the city is super modern with heaps of skyscrapers it only takes a 5 minute walk to reach the nearest park.
