MacRitchie Reservoir

Last weekend we decided to brave the heat and check out one of Singapore's many natural reserves.   MacRitchie Park is probably the biggest, with many trails and picnic areas.    

The trail we decided to hike on had a treetop suspension bridge.    It was pretty awesome to get above the tree line and look out.   I think that day we also hiked about 3-4 miles....even the kids.   The one downside was we couldn't eat the picnic we packed on the trail.  If we tried, the monkies would show up.

With the distance and heat, the kids did pretty well.   However, we may not be able to talk them into another hike anytime soon.

Mana Mana Beach Club

We had a three day weekend last week for Labor Day.  Instead of jumping on a flight out of Singapore, we decided to stay and check out sights here.   Wade had been paddle boarding in Singapore before and I wanted to go.

We are in the rainy season here now.  At any moments a huge thunder and lightening storm hit.   Then it passes with sun and heat.  This makes planning a beach day a little difficult.   We decided to try.

Four hours of beach, paddle boarding, sun and a buckets of beers we were lucky. It was a good day.
