After VivoCity I continued my way up to Mt. Faber, which was only a couple of hundred meters away, both vertical as horizontal. After a climb of about 10 minutes I reached the top which gave a spectacular overview of a part of the city. I created a panorama photo from all photos I have shot at the top which you can see just below. Click on it to have a more panoramic view. (^.^)

After climbing to the top of Mt. Faber I continued following the paths of the nature area which is called "Southern Ridges". The "Southern Ridges" are multiple smaller areas of governmental subsidized parks, which are interconnected. And when I mean interconnected, I mean really connected by all means; a bridge of 25 meters high (it was elevated 83 meters above sea level, but I can not imagine the bridge itself being that high!), a treetop walk of 3 kilometers and some artificial nature just to connect two subsequent parks.
In total I have walked through 3 parks, which was a walk of about 10 kilometers (and I already walked a few kilometers as I walked to Holland Village). I was somewhat exhausted after finally reaching the bus stop to bring me back to Clementi MRT, but the nature was beautiful.

ReplyDeleteoh.. ik had een heel mooi lang verhaal getyped, maar hij is weg omdat ik een verkeerde knop drukte..Nu ben ik beetje te gedemotiveerd om alles overnieuw te typen.
Maar samengevat:
Leuke foto, en mooi zweefvliegweer daar zou Quint zeggen gok ik! Gave nature walks doe je ook, wist niet dat je zo van wandelen hield voor ik je blog las. Hoe is het op de uni? Al voorzichtig gepoogd een leuk praatje te maken tijdens de lunch?
Hier leuk weekend met familie en gehockeyed. Besloten in te zetten op Berkely voor stage! Oehhh bijna ook Berlijn, 2 weken tot maandag 4 april 9.47 uur!
liefs,
Marijke
