Botanic Gardens

Casual afternoon outing on an overcast, warm, and humid (of course) day.  Walk across NUS to the Kent Ridge MRT station.  Ride to Botanic Gardens.  Spend 90 minutes meandering the grounds.  Highlight: first time I've visited the Foliage Garden.  Hop the 106 bus from the Tanglin exit to Commonwealth.  Eat at our favorite mixed veg rice stall (eggplant, white fish, pork chop, white rice, and a lime juice all for S$7.40 = US$5.40).  Walk to Buona Vista MRT for the short ride to Kent Ridge.  Pick up some groceries at the Fair Price.  Quick (2 stop) bus ride back on the 963.  Total trip time ~ 3 hours, including about 7 miles of walking.  Photos are all from Botanic Gardens.
