Macritchie Tree Top
Hi ya’ll,
Yesterday, a
couple of friends and I hiked up Macritchie with the aim of making it to the
treetop walk.
We took bus 166 from Ang Mo Kio Interchange and
alighted about 6-7 stops later @ flame
tree pk. Our starting point was to
start at Venus Drive Carpark. To know which way to go once you alighted, just
look around and you’ll see that there is one particular area on your right that
is full of trees. That is the way to go.
Straight
ahead, you’ll go to Thomson plaza. To the left, you’ll go to more
houses/condos.
So we followed
the hike trail. There are many routes to the treetop and we took the shortest
route to the top. If you follow the trail, there are signs along the way
leading you to the treetop. So fret not, you are in good hands. The rest
depends on your ability and stamina.
Us, being
beginners. Wow, it was tough. There were so many ups and downs. Steep or not,
they tired us out. Especially the stairs after we crossed the treetop bridge. There
was quite a fair bit of stairs to climb up and down.
When we were
on the treetop bridge, we met two curious monkeys. They were scaring everyone
that were on the bridge. Nobody has encountered monkeys that close. I did not
know I wasn’t supposed to give the monkey eye contact and I did. That’s when it
sort of chased me. I don’t think they had the intention of attacking anyone,
just maybe to get some food from us. Because those goo goo eyes the monkey gave
me when he faced me, that wasn’t aggression.
That was
definitely the highlight of the trip.
We enjoyed
the rest of our day with prata and some ice cream at Upper Thomson. What a
productive day!
XOXO ♥
