PULAU UBIN is the last 'kampung' (village) in Singapore. It is an offshore island off the eastern side of Singapore, and has one of the most luxurious wildlife habitats, ranging from the rainforest to swamps. The common activities are cycling, trekking or just pure exploration. For me, a stroll through Ubin takes with the simpler pleasures of life!
The slow lane starts as soon as we join the queue for the bumboat at Changi. The bumboat ride took us 15 minutes to reach Ubin and during the ride, we get to see beautiful view and scenery. We are lucky that day because the weather is just too lovely! As we arrive, all cares are left behind. Ubin is a great short trip spent walking or pedaling through rustic roads under swaying coconut palms, exploring shady trails in overgrown rubber plantations, checking out secluded beaches and flourishing mangroves. On Ubin, air is fresher, the sights and sounds are so soothing to the soul.
Thanks to my eldest sister who had arranged this fond memories short getaway for us! It's indeed a lovely place for experiencing from an undistinguished!
