20140728_Ubin Revisited

On 29/7/014, a group of 15 of us went biking at Pulau Ubin! It was Hari Raya holiday and there were many people on the island this day.

Arrived at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal Boarded the ferry at about 9:30am. One way is S$2-50 per pax

This is the Changi Beach Sailing club. Boardwalk

The ferry only takes about 10 min to Ubin

The max number of passengers for each ferry is only 12!

Rented the bikes on arrival at S$8 for the whole day. Some chose the newer bikes at S$10

We decided to turn left to Chek Jawa which was about 2km away from the jetty?

Rather undulating for some parts of the road...need to disembark to push the bike!

Took the Chek Jawa Boardwalk...the tide was too high for us to spot the starfish etc..:(

Weather was pretty good!

 They were looking at the mud holes..there were mud crabs and mudskippers!

And this is the atap seed's "covering"! Strange that the transparent looking seed actually is found as such!

 Arrived at the tower...time seem to passed us by slowly....

 Some went up to peek and it was Aaron who led the way!

From above looking down!

Nice green looking "lake"!

 Rambutans - er...not too sweet and the flesh tend to stick to the seed...

Left Ubin at about past noon.

To prevent any from collapse from the biking, we decided to go for lunch at the hawker centre at Changi Village.

The chicken chop noodle and the red tea longan dessert! Wow ! Great!!

Next time" We will cycle to the right and explore the other side of this island!
