Coney Island 2016
Hi ya’ll,
Yesterday, my friends and i visited Coney Island. Gee, it was hell of a
tiring. I swear to god. Our bums hurt so much after that much cycling. Not
forgetting, how humid the weather was.
We also visited the punggol ranch. Sadly, the horses are only out at 2pm. But we managed to make friends with the pony. If you want to feed the pony, it's $2 for a packet of carrots.
Tips:
- Do not get the city bike. Rent the mountain bike instead. This is
because, the terrains in Coney Island is not an actual path. There are stones,
rocks and all on the path. So, you should get a bike that is built for that
kind of terrain. If you want to get a basket, it will cost you an additional
dollar at “go cycling”.
- Bring at least 1.5 litres of water. I’m not kidding. My
750ml bottle was not enough and I was dying halfway in. There are no water
coolers in Coney Island. You can find the convenient store at “Punggol
settlement”
Coney Island is an island off of punggol. The place itself is pretty
much repetitive especially when all you see are trees, trees and more trees. Of
course, there are the occasional lalangs and other kind of plants/trees.
Unfortunately, we did not spot the cow. And I guess even if we did, we were too
tired.
Since the island is more eco-friendly than anything, the toilet (2.4km away from the west entrance) near the lorong halus exit has no water cooler nor electricity. That is probably why the island closes around 6-7pm. Do not drink the tap water. The water is basically rainwater. It's not clean.
We actually followed this route we found off the net. We took Route B and took the short-cut. Gosh. The pathway was so rocky that it was hard to power through. I suggest you guys take Route A and head back from where you came from.
We managed to find the mansion but it's all fenced up now. And it took us quite awhile to get there walking and these man-made planks. We had to dunk under a few tree trunks as well. Please be careful when you're walking through this area. You could miss a step and fall. Although there were many warnings to only visit this area on guided tours, but we're daredevils and we assumed all responsibility.
On our way back, check out these beautiful scenic photographs we took. No doubt, Punggol is really a beautiful area.
Getting there:
We took bus 84 from punggol interchange. And alighted 6 stops after @ punggol road end.
