Over the past two weeks, Naoko and I have done some long walking treks, often about 10 kilometres or so. Here are pictures from a few of them where we took pictures. Zen only came along on the March 15th trek.
March 15th – North Eastern Riverine Loop

The North Eastern Riverine Loop. We started from the starting point at 7:30, and by about 10:00 we’d made it to Punggol Point at the top. Unfortunately, the walk beyond that is full of construction and won’t be a nice place to explore for a couple of years yet. More information here.
Rounding Punggol Point.
The view from Punggol Point. That’s Pulau Ubin in the middle.
There’s something oddly lobster-like about this tree… a lobster with green hair!!
This island is called “Coney Island” here, but on other maps it’s called Serangoon Island.

Definitely Singapore’s funkiest public toilet!!

Nice to see that helpful advice on walking techniques has been provided for the many people who have poor walking technique…
