Today we went for a hike along the new Labrador Nature and Coastal Walk, which includes the Alexandra Garden Trail, the Berlayer Creek Walk, the Bukit Chermin Boardwalk, the Labrador Nature Reserve, and the funky old Dragon Teeth’s Rock reconstruction. What a great, cool, funky excursion. We took the bus to the Alexandra Garden Trail, which is a footpath and a separate bicycle path next to busy Alexandra Road. Not essential. The Berlayer Creek Walk, which starts at the new Labrador Park MRT station and moves towards the water is much better, very beautiful, peaceful. At the end is the Bukit Chermin Boardwalk to the left, and the Labrador Nature Reserve,and the funky old Dragon Teeth’s Rock reconstruction to the right. We headed right, saw the reconstruction, wandered around the park, saw a monstrous cruise ship drift by, saw funky flowers, played catchball for a while, I hiked up the hill and saw the cool 6-inch gun (nobody else wanted to come up with me, they missed out bad!). We discovered in the parking lot a truck with the Japanese phrase “Aishiteru” on the windshield, which means “I love you” (?!?!). Then we headed off to the Bukit Chermin Boardwalk, then through the Keppel Bay marina and the massive condominium complex that they’re building down there. Not bad. Ended up at Harbourfront MRT, we took the circle line to Holland Village MRT station, my first time on the line, and then took a bus home after five hours out-of-doors. Whew!
