Founders' Reflections?

Founders’ Memorial

Yeah, I get that. Founders' Reflections is…a lot. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong, but the sheer scale of it makes it hard to find a peaceful spot. I ended up just sitting on one of the benches near the edge of the gardens; it wasn't exactly secluded, but it was quieter than the main plaza. Maybe try going earlier in the morning or later in the evening – fewer crowds, might make it feel less overwhelming. You're definitely not alone in feeling that way, though. It's a pretty intense experience.

Yeah, the Benjamin Sheares Bridge is killer for sunset views. Totally agree, finding a safe spot to pull over is tough though. Have you considered the Mount Faber Park area? It's a short ride away and offers some fantastic panoramic viewpoints, including the harbor. Plenty of spots to safely park your bike and snap some pics. Might be a little less spontaneous than stopping mid-bridge, but definitely safer! Plus, there are usually food stalls around for a post-ride snack.

That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of Mount Faber Park. Sounds like a much better plan than risking it on the bridge. Food stalls are definitely a plus... Thanks!
