Just off the main island is the island of Pulau Ubin. It was Saturday and David was not at work so we all took the ferry to the island. The ferries go when there are 12 people and since the island is very popular there wasn't much of a wait. The boats were pretty old but served the purpose.

The island has quiet beaches and is as unlike modern Singapore as you can imagine. There are mangrove swamps and old granite quarries. We walked across the island in humid heat to the other side to a pleasant beach.

On our return to the mainland we walked on Changi beach near the airport. David had a taste of a local treat, ice cream wrapped in coloured bread.
