Good Friday at Pulau Ubin

Dear hubby wanted to visit a fish farm at Pulau Ubin. He suggested to go on Good Friday. I hesitated for a while as I knew that I would have to cycle there:p Hehe...don't want to have muscle ache effect after that...Also, I wonder if I would have strengths and stamina to cycle the island (since I have not been exercising for a long time:p). Well, dear daughter was excited about it:) So, off we went!

We drove to Changi Village for our yummy lunch. Dear daughter and I decided to try the western food, while dear hubby ordered for his favourite chicken rice. Dear daughter chose yummy pasta and I chose the chicken burger. It comes with soup too:D Not bad. While having our sumptuous lunch there, we witnessed a few cars were summoned by traffic police due to illegal parking. I must say it's really hard to find a parking lot there. Thank God, dear hubby managed to park his car near the carpark at Changi Point Ferry Terminal.

After our yummy lunch, we walked to the Ferry Terminal to take the bumboat.



Alas, we didn't know that we could bring along our bicycle:( We joined the long queue to get into the bumboat. Even though there are many people queuing up and each bumboat can take 12 passengers only, we waited for less than 15mins to get on board:-) Thumb up for their high service standard. I heard the uncle captain had yet to take his lunch!!

We were truly elated during the bumboat ride especially our dear daughter:p

It took us about 10mins to reach Pulau Ubin. As we get down from the bumboat, we were welcomed by the sunny sun!

After a 2mins' walk, we saw a few bicycle rental shops. We quickly rented two bicycles. Dear hubby and daughter shared a two-sitter bicycle, while I cycled on my own. We cycled towards the fish farm direction and passed by several villages or "kampongs".

durian trees:p yumyum!!

After the fish farm visit, it was almost 4:30pm. We returned our bikes and decided to go home. As we made our way to the jetty, dear daughter saw the beautiful seaside and wanted to collect seashells there:p




spiky "roots"

At the end, dear daughter collected about 10 seashells. As the sun was about to set, we bade goodbye to Pulau Ubin. While in the bumboat, I asked my dear daughter "Did you enjoy yourself?". She replied "YES!!!".


Pulau Ubin, we'll come back again!
