Suza in Singapore: Pulau Ubin

On Sunday, we took a boat like this one out to Pulau Ubin - a Singaporean island about 10mn away from the mainland. 


Arrival at the dock straight ahead.


The three of us getting ready to head out and explore the island.



We took a car out to the reserve  part of the island - here Seth and Noah walking along the viewing dock.

The Singapore port was not too far away.... a reminder that this beautiful tropical island is very very near civilization.


Mangrove swamps... (but luckily not too many mosquitoes).



More walking on the docks - Seth was pointing out the little crabs to Noah who was more interested in his water bottle at this point.


Pretty view from the island.


Seth Suza and Noah at the top of the observation deck.



Noah and Suza up there... Noah was quite a trooper and walked all around without complaining.



Funny?

It's tropical all right - sometimes I have to remind myself that I actually live on a tropical island - pretty much my childhood dream come true.


On our way back we saw some baby wild boars...


and some monkeys.


A nice escape from urban life. After our little trek, we had lunch in Pulau Ubin and after watching the water skiers in the cable-ski park for a long long time, we had dinner outside by the beach at East Coast Park... mmm white pepper crab.
