A Walk Along The Promenade

Last Saturday, a group of us went for a walk along a promenade. It was a very nice walk route with plenty to see.

Unfortunately, plenty of others have the same idea as well. So, the road was too crowded to be comfortable. Apart from the walkers, there were joggers and cyclists. Just too many people, in my opinion, sharing not too wide a road.

It was particularly difficult if you are trying to take pictures. People crossing in front of you, cyclists coming at you in both directions. You had to look out and be very cautious to stay out of harm’s way.

It wasn’t a very long route – only about 5.4 kilometres. In between the chatting, walking and taking of photographs, one and a half hours slipped by without our noticing it. It was fun, and an enjoyable walk.

Somewhere on the island, there was rain. But luckily, we were not heading in that direction.

People everywhere. Busy, busy, busy.

We didn’t stop to smell the roses, but I did stop to take a few photos of the flowers and plants along the way.

These are Stachytarpheta Indica, also known Indian snakeweed. This is the first time I see them in red colour.

We ended up at the Gardens by the Bay, where we had something to eat for dinner.

I love Singapore, I go every year for the Formula One Grand Prix...Well, not when the pandemic is around of course.

I don't know if they are continuing with the Formula One Grand Prix after the pandemic. There was talk that they will stop holding the annual event.

I had heard this although I'll admit that it wold be a great shame. The Singapore F! GP is the best I've been to.

wow! I didn't know that it was so successful. 👍

That’s a nice walk! So many cyclists though. The sky looked very changeable and interesting.

Yes, too many cyclists. I hope they will widen the road someday or create a cyclist path to separate from the pedestrians.

So much beauty on your walk even if too many people, must have been fine thought itf time flew by without you knowing it, to me thats always a sign of a good walk

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there

Yes, we all enjoyed our walk. The beauty of the surrounding, the chat and laughter... and then we found we had reached the end of our walk.

My pleasure to share my walk!

Enjoying the walk is always the most important thing :)
