What a day, so much ground covered, I don't know where to start this story so let's start with a summary. To quote Beck's facebook post (written as she was falling asleep in the bath)

A feast for the senses today. Over 13hrs of almost non-stop moving. Seeing a twister, massive electrical storm, bucketing rain whilst zooming around on an electric scooter, local secrets, Gardens by the Bay, supertrees, marina bay sands, cocktails, amazing food, light shows and 500+ photos not to mention Catherine’s video footage and more. Am shattered so a small selection of pics - more to come when I can keep my eyes open.

The highlights for me:

• twister over the bay
• scootering in a massive storm and loving it
• all the extra places Richard our scooter guide took us to because he could and we were up for it, including Marina Barrage and the F1 racetrack pit stop
• finally getting to Gardens by the Bay after all those years of seeing photos
• having a travel buddy that likes photos as much as I do and says yes to anything
• letting our nose and Beck's senses guide us to the top of Marina Bay Sands for cocktails (mine was a Double Happiness) and dinner as the sun set
• checking out the beautiful and not so beautiful people in the infinity pool
• hanging out with a couple of Japanese girls to trade stories of travel in very broken English
• singing 'Everything is Awesome' (think Lego movie) all day and enjoying it!

I may or may not come back and add in the full day. Let's see what happens.
