Macritchie Park, Singapore – reprise

A favourite walk In Singapore – see also Looking for Treetop Walk in Macritchie Reservoir Park

Impressive rain over the week before this visit – the plants were sprouting, the insects devouring and the snakes presumably busy somewhere in the foliage. A few fish leaping in the water and at least 1 fisherman not greatly bothered by No Fishing signs.

The reservoir beats the Botanical Gardens hands down and does not seem that busy.  A little more of a trek by bus but well worth it.

Looking for Treetop Walk in Macritchie Reservoir Park

A quiet Saturday in Singapore, a trip to the Tree Top Walk in Macritchie Reservoir Park, 1 hour by bus, 1 hour walk each way – OK.

On arrival, guided by Google, I was greeted by a sign saying track closed and recommended path led around the reservoir – no choice.

A 2 hour(in total) walk became nearly 5 hours – good practice, at least, for upcoming walks.

As for the Tree Top Walk …..

This is about the journey, rather than the destination.
