Long weekend - Changi Boardwalk

Long weekend. I don't know what we did, except we spent an awful lot of time going out for meals. Most interesting was our quest for Saturday's dinner.

We left the house at around 4pm. Not exactly sure where we'd go, we ended up driving to Changi and stumbled upon the coastal walk. We started from Changi point (P18 on the map), walked all the way to Changi village for dinner and then back again. I think it's about 1.5-2km each way. Spent some time along the beach. It was low tide and we found quite a few hermit crabs, some baby crabs and a sea snail without much effort. Other creatures we spotted - a pair of 'common kingfishers' , one macaque and lots and lots of bats! Arh red ants too - and yep, the boy got bitten yet again. He was running his hands along the fencing ropes and one of them got on to him and bit him. Very few homo sapiens though. We think they must have all migrated to neighbouring lands for the long weekend.
