MacRitchie Reservoir

Attempting to make the most of our time in Singapore Tom and I decided to take what was supposed to be a morning trip to MacRitchie Reservoir where it was going to be a leisurely walk amongst the tropical rainforest... however, not everything went to plan, although enjoyable all the same. 

We chose to do the the tree top walk, which in itself lets you imagine its quite a hike, but we thought we'd venture it.. we began our walk in now what was the midday sun. 

As soon as we were at the entrance we were met with a number of monkeys all looking up in interest at as and making way as we walked on, we could constantly hear the rustling in the trees as we continued along the track. 


We soon had been walking for at least an hour and I realised this wasn't going to be the walk in the park I thought it was going to be, but Tom urged me on  as we hit the 5km point. 
Onwards and upwards we went and we soon reached the tree top bridge which let us view a beautiful view out over the rainforest and onto the reservoir, all worth the long hike in the thirty degree weather! 




Although I did enjoy the walk up I may have been a bit difficult (to say the least) on the way back.. However after a quick journey home and into the shower all was good once again. 


A shout out to Gerry, a photo I took with you in mind.. hope you enjoy!
