There are two domes in the Gardens by the Bay. Thew taller one is the Cloud Forest where we are in this post. There is a central "mountain" that is covered in vegetation and has the world's talles indoor waterfall cascading 115 feet down the side of it. The mountain hides elevator shafts on its insides. We took the elevator up 9 floors to a series of hanging walkways and ramps leading back down to the ground level. Up at the very top the walkways were narrow and swayed a bit with the foot traffic. There is only one word for this and that word is scary! Multiple times I went to take a picture and my feet refused to walk any closer to the edge. But we survived and have a story to tell!
Lots of art at the entrance
Cute baby rhino

Several cultures are represented, here are the Mauri from New Zealand
