Although we are just one week into our trip, I wanted to share some photos as we’ve seen some amazing sights. The very first day I went to the Trollbeads store in Singapore and had the good fortune of briefly meeting @2inchg from Instagram! That’s her beautiful bracelet on the right and on the left is the lovely Winnie who works in the store.
I had plans to buy one bead, but bought two. I mean, how could I just buy one? π I found a pretty unique and then bought an Aurora Stripe.
The next day we walked down to see the Merlion and the one from Ohm Beads is a perfect match!
Next we walked over to the fabulous Gardens by the Bay. It’s one of my all time favourite places because I think the Supertrees look so futuristic!
They made a great backdrop for the Coral Wave and Peach Flower beads from Trollbeads.
I tried the Strawberry Quartz there too.
You can take an elevator up a Skytree and then go for a walk along the Skyway. It’s definitely not a good idea for anyone afraid of heights!
I held my breath to take this photo up there, of a bangle using the Redbalifrog Frangipani stoppers and a True Beadz True Taste Sunflower Bead.
Here’s what the Skytrees look like close up. All the greenery is growing up the metal structures.
The next day we went back and I spied some amazing flowers to go with the same Trollbeads from the day before. The middle one is a unique.
We bought tickets to go into the Cloud Forest Dome and it was absolutely incredible. I’ve never seen such beautiful flowers!
Like at the Skytrees, you take an elevator up and then walk along only this time the path winds its way down.
Over to Vietnam now, where we spent a day touring around Hanoi. This is the One Pillar Pagoda in the background, with an all Trollbeads bracelet.
Next we drove up to Sapa, in the northwest. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and we went there to do some trekking along the rice terraces. I’ve got to say I really like how the Trollbeads Feldspar Moonstone looks here, colour wise.
The Diamond Bead, Pink really pops against the green!
Naturally, the Spirit of Vietnam and Lotus Flower from Spiritbeads needed to make an appearance.
Finally, a True Beadz and Spiritbeads combo were what I wore today.
So, we are still here for another 6 days with Halong Bay and Saigon still to come. I will likely be going to a Trollbeads store the day the Asian Exclusive Weaver Girl launches, so hopefully I can get one as a souvenir! Do check out April’s blog post on it if you haven’t already.

Such utter BEAUTY, both in the surroundings there as well as in the Beads :-). Your photos are wonderful, thank you for letting us travel vicariously through you, looking forward to more! I have a question whenever you have the time, and it may just be my eyes but the walkway up high by the Metal trees does not appear to be supported in anyway along the path, how is it suspended? It DID look scary, but those trees are amazing! And lucky you to be there for the Weaver Girl release, a pretty floral bead is just perfect for your adventure! Have more fun! π

Hi Melissa, you are correct, that the walkway is like a suspended bridge between two of the trees. Itβs even better at nighttime because there is a light show. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Thanks for sharing your travels with us, Martha. I’ve been enjoying your Instagram photos so much. The Supertrees and the Cloud Forest Dome are amazing, and it boggles the mind to think of how they were created structures. I must read more about them! The scenery in Vietnam is absolutely breathtaking, and I keep going back to look at your photos again. Glad you’re enjoying the trip. And that you found some beads! Hope you manage to get a Weaver Girl. That would be a fabulous souvenir of your trip.

Hi Kim! Iβm glad youβve been enjoying he trip pictures. I really hope I can get a Weaver Girl, but if I canβt I will buy a different bead. Iβm old enough that we didnβt need any big souvenirs in our house these days, so a small bead would be perfect!
