Just the two of us - Jewel bridge@ Punggol

We left Punggol Beach to explore another part of Punggol...

We went in search of the Jewel Bridge . Getting there sure is hard~! We could have walked from the beach but that would mean a long walk and gotta go beyond Punggol Marina via the Punggol Park Connector. Instead, we managed to spot it while driving around. Had to park illegally along Punggol Way. The nearest LRT station is Sumang LRT . Was so happy to have finally found it..coz it's one of the places along the trail we have yet to covered. 

The bridge overlooks Punggol Reservoir

There is a big open space near the waterway..

One of the nicer place to catch the sun set :)

Nice and tranquil on Valentines day

We will definitely be back again :)

Just the two of us - Punggol beach

Just the two of us..

We spend the rest of the day visiting the National Library for an exhibition and having a nice drive to Punggol Beach after our Valentines lunch :)

Quiet long drive in ..I like the trees on both side of the road

My earliest memory of Punggol beach like a lot of my friends remembered was the seafood restaurant by the coastal area. I think it was called Punggol Point. Now this place is known as Punggol Promenade . I could recall my visits to the seafood restaurant with my family . It must have been quite traumatizing for me as a child since I could vividly remember the wooden planks that made up the place ..and how big those lizards were. Yeah, lots of lizards were snooping around ..I kid you not..  and it was open air dining, over looking the sea. 

The Punngol point now no longer has that kampong feel but there is still that hint of rustic and countryside to it.

 I love this place now.. 

Why do I say now? coz it is only matter of time

when this place is properly developed and 

truck loads of people will come ..

then it will be just like any where else in Singapore..

There are two lili ponds near the beach..

but no lilis to be seen..

There are lots of small fishes inside though..

Some families were seen feeding them with bread :) 

A bit about Pounggol Beach

 

There is no direct access to this part of the beach..
you gotta walk on some huge stones..

So forget it if you are wearing heels

* I have seen stupid girls who wear heels to the beach*
Go at your own risk..espeically if you are there with kids 

Lots of big stones like these..and debris

 There is a viewing deck just above the police security post

it over looks the sea n jetty

at the viewing deck

That's Johor Bahru at the opp.side..

Bump boats stopping to drop passengers from the Outward bound 

school in Ubin..

 

 The sky n sun at 6.30pm

There are plans for F&B development next to the beach..

So enjoy the tranquility while it last

Guess what! 

There will be a horse riding school and( I heard) chalets

just next to the Promenade

Rustic isn't it ? 

Doesn't feel like it's in Singapore :P

Punggol Nature Trail in the evenings

Another visit to Punggol Nature Trail.

Started our walk around 6

and were greeted by a rainbow :)

Spotted many of his fellow mates along the way..

and some were, erm, sadly crushed to death :P

As we walked towards the lorong halus bridge

( not going there..but towards that direction )

we heard screams from a grp of Indian family

in front of us. Apparently a small snake slittered

across the pathway.. 

 

We were not sure if it's posionous..

but now you know!

Be careful of insects and snakes :P

Have not walked this way yet..

 

The sun says hi..

took this at the nature trail walk

(opp is Coney Island)

Sunset clouds and Mr Moon 

That's Coney Island

A link is being built so that we can 

go there by foot in the near future!

 

 Perfect place for a stroll 

or evening jog :)
