We will walk down to the basement to take a bumboat ride. The ride takes about 10 minutes
at S$2.50 per person\/per trip<\/b>. There are no scheduled departure times to and from Ubin,
as bumboats set off only when there are 12 passengers.<\/p>\n
Lunch: approx at 1 p.m. at a local Chinese restaurant. It serves individual zhi char dishes
or ala carte seafood orders. Seating capacity is limited; we need to book tables for all.
*****Commute by bus, do allow sufficient travel and waiting time. If any member wish to
leave early for other appointment, appreciate U keep either Eos informed.<\/p>\n

Our walk will take us all the way to Chek Jawa; Walking under the swaying coconut palms, lush
greenery, birds, through \u201ccountry\u2019 roads where the air is fresh.
Chek Jawa one of Singapore\u2019s richest ecosystems!
Apparently, on 9April, in the morning the tide is low, hopefully it is low enough and unveils
the marine life there.<\/p>\n
Our walk ends once we are back to Ubin town centre.
Do not leave Ubin without feasting on some seafood which is fresh and prices are reasonable. <\/p>\n
When you have rested, feasted and recharged, you may go to explore the nearby Sensory Trail \u2013
a small garden with fruit trees, spices and herbs for cooking, applants used in traditional
medicine and native plants of the mangrove forest.<\/p>\n

shoes or track shoes are strongly recommended. No slippers\/sandals as they are also an
