| Who would have thought that Singapore had a hidden magical garden? |

| View of the Reflections at Keppel Bay - high-class condo!! |
After soaking in the sun and view, it's off to our next stop : Forest Walk. Forest Walk is a series of elevated walkways with metal grills as footpaths - hats off to whoever came out with the idea. You look down and see how high up you are ... in other words, how far you'd fall!! Not for those with height-phobia.

| Signages to show you the way |

| The ubiquitous CB Leaf ... known to all NSmen. Never knew it was called Dillenia Suffruticos |
 | |
| Permanent slope repairs being carried out. At the top is a covered reservior |
 |
| Seldom see wild bamboo in Singapore |
 |
| Looks scary... |
The Forest Walk ends at the Alexandra Arch ... supposedly a lovely bridge but now dulled by the weather. Repainting works were in progress when we were there. The Alexandra Arch leads to the HortPark, a modern gardening hub for visitors to learn about recreational gardening and other gardening-related activities. A very nice place to relax ... there's even a cafe and a restaurant.
