Pulau Ubin Sunday...

after a couple of weeks of planning, the trip finally happened...
met Shaun, James and Peter (James' colleague) at Changi Village for breakfast...
took the ferry to Pulau Ubin...
the ferry terminal now has arrival and departure halls...
ferry rides are charged at S$2 each way...

there were a lot of people by the time we reached Pulau Ubin at around 10:30am...
rented our bicycles for S$5 for the day (until 6pm)...
cycled to the North of the island before checking out the West...
by then it was lunch time and we went back to the main entrance to the island for lunch...
we were seated outside the restaurant...
and witnessed two dogs copulating right in front of our eyes...

cycled to Chek Jawa after lunch...
did a tour of Chek Jawa without seeing much...
lots of seaweed, crabs and a few mud skippers...
maybe we could have seen more things if we had paid for the guided tour...
took the rougher route back to the main entrance...
returned our bikes and took the ferry back to the mainland...

had my favourite nasi lemak for dinner at the Changi Village food centre...
walked around the beach before sharing a cab home with Shaun...

it has been a wonderful Sunday...
the sun was bright and sunny...
the place was serene and some places were so untouched...
the beauty of nature...
Shaun and i were totally burnt...
but no complaints cos it was a good outing...
i shall return to explore more of the island soon...

next trip: MacRitchie Tree Top Walk in March 2008...
