A Walk in the Park ... Southern Ridges (Part I)

We decided to explore the Southern Ridges today starting at the foot of Mount Faber. It's a steep walk for two unfit persons but we managed to "conquer" the hill a tiring huffing-n-puffing 15 minutes later. Haven't been to Mount Faber for a couple of years. Nothing much has changed, which is indeed a comfort given that Singapore is changing so rapidly that I am now a tourist in my own country. Along the way after the Henderson Wave, we were so thrilled to come across a family of White-crested Laughing Thrush. A rare sight for city-dwellers like us. It turned dark and we managed to reach Alkaff Mansion. Decide to head for the nearest bus-stop before the sky gave way. So end of walk for us, and back to VivoCity.

The start of our adventure

Just a few steps to climb!

And another few steps...

What on earth is this?
Stairway to heaven?

Finally ... civilisation
