Changi Point Coastal Walk


9 residents and a dog named Maggie; that's the group that responded to a call for neighbours of Limau Estate to get together and do a short walk by the sea. We are flattered that a 80 year old plus lady was gamed to do the walk.



It all began at Creek Walk where bumboats were busying ferrying people to Pulau Ubin and other islands. The path is lined with flowers in yellow and white and before you know it , you are on the beach and and seeing sail boats and a Kelong.




Time for another photograph






On the way to Clift walk and Sunset walk



U turn and double back on the same trail and we have done a total of 4.4 km in 1.5 hrs! Good exercise for the day. And happy that we got to know a few of our neighbours. The last stop-load up at the Hawker centre close by.
