Pulau Ubin

Excitement before taking the bumboats to Pulau Ubin. We captured the moment at the entrance of the Changi Point Ferry Terminal.

Prior to this, we met early in the morning for breakfast at the new coffeeshop next to Bedok bus interchange. That was good dhal with potato for dahlin.

We took bus no. 2 right up to the ferry terminal. There were two queues. One for Pengerang Johor and the other for Ubin. I am glad to see they have upgraded that area and the terminal has become rather pretty and sturdy.

We had to wait for ten other passengers and took a bumboat there. The moment we reached the jetty, I felt like stepping into kampung life already. Pulau Ubin reminds me of our visit to Redang, only then the water was clear crystal blue.

The tandem took us as far as Sesame Street.

We had a great time cycling up and down the slopes. The road is tough. I cannot imagine doing the bike tracks that are rougher. We cycled past old road names like Jelutong and Mat Senin. The mangroves around the area was nice to see although some inconsiderate people did litter the swampland with plastic bottles. Not us!

Around 1.45pm on Saturday, 8 Nov.

We took leave of the island. Thanks dahlin, I cherish each weekend with you...
