Tracing the old Malayan Railway tracks.

Friday, 6th August 2010. Hardcore trek.

We took:

- Big bottle of H2O

- Big bottle of 100PLUS

- Water

- Orange juice

- Plasters and antiseptic, which we didn't need

- Energy bars and Michelle's sandwich

- Mosquito repellent and sunblock

- Change of clothes and slippers

We took a wrong turning into King Albert Park, which had all the expensive huge houses. Tried to bash our way through an overgrown valley, hoping we'd meet the old rail, but it was too steep and too dangerous. Plus, the lady in the last house was spying on us, I bet she thought we were illegal immigrants. Herrick was in army uniform, though!

Aha! Finally. The sign to the station.

Inception moment!


Right after Tunnel 1. Tracks submerged in the kinda mud that pulls your feet in.



Tunnel 1.

Rickety Bridge 1.

Rickety Bridge 2. We saw a guy trying to cycle over this.

It was a long bridge.

With nice scenery.

Resting on the tracks after we got near the Park Connector, under a flyover.

On a slope, under the flyover.

Graffiti near Tunnel 2 (the dangerous tunnel). Sad to see people living there. They had vegetable plants though! Chilli, brinjal, papaya, other stuff.

Phew, done at last.

At long last, changed out of muddy clothes and shoes. Waiting for a bus.

We're gonna go back! And take our time to look at everything. Plants and stuff. I'm gonna take videos of the trip, photos really don't do justice, plus we didn't take photos of the more interesting things.
