Our hotel for the night is a stone's through (one MRT station) away from Changi airport. The room is pretty nice and we has some time during the afternoon to cool off in the pool. The pool wasn't as nice as the previous one because it's in full sun and the water temperature is not as refreshing.
The last item on our tourist list was the Jewel at Changi airport. The hotel is across the road from the MRT station so it was pretty easy to hop on a train to the airport. The Jewel is located in the miffle of the Changi airport terminal complex. It is outside the airport security check points and is open to the public. The only way to view it from inside the security zone is on the monorail (see video below).
We arrived just before dusk which allowed us to see the Jewel in daylight. It has a glass dome roof with some similarities to the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay. The roof curves into the middle and forms a conical waterfall with some assistance from a recirculating water supply.
The water then plunges into a vortex and vanishes below ground.
The water fall is surrouned by a healthy jungle interlaced with pathways on multiple levels. A considerable portion of the plants were awash with colourful flowers.
We found a food court in one of the lower levels. Having had some tasty food for dinner, we made our way back to the upper levels where the sunlight had been replaced by a myriad of artificial lights.
The lights constantly change colours creating a dynamic art show.
It was a pretty spectacular finalie to our Singapore adventure. It was getting late so we made our way back to the hotel. We have to be out at the airport fairly early in the morning for our flight back home to Perth,
