It was a cloudy day. We gathered at
Harborfront ticketing counter. It looked like it was going to rain and some
adults joked about ending up hiking in the nearby mall. Soon after, everybody arrived.
We grouped into our sixes and filed out of the train station, Six Wolverines in
the lead!
We
walked out into the busy city along the road. We were all excited about the
hike. The monorail to Sentosa was right above us. We walked along the heavy trafficked
roads for a while, heading towards the boardwalk that led to the island of
Sentosa. Once we reached the boardwalk, the strong breeze coming from the sea
hit us. Before that, it felt hot and stuffy. The breeze was a wonderful
feeling. We were off for a wonderful start!
The boardwalk seemed
to last forever, stretching out along the sea. I kind of secretly wished it would
never end. The scenery was breathtaking.
Finally,
it ended. We finished a quarter of the walk by then. We had arrived at Sentosa
Island!
We passed by the
Merlion and Universal Studio. We took some group pictures…just like the
tourists. We walked pass more roads and spotted peacocks on the way. Then we
picked up the younger cubs that were too young to walk the whole distance. They
were so eager to finally join in the hike. We walked up hill for a bit, then
down hill for a bit. Our legs were kind of sore by then.
Then the hike finally
ended. It was 3 hours later. We were all tired by the time we arrived. We all
sat down on the floor having our well-deserved snacks when the leaders broke
the news to us that we had completed more than we expected. All the Cubs were
so happy and proud of themselves! We finished about 7.4 kilometers. Altogether
it was a wonderful hike.
Now, we were all ready
for the FIREWORK HIKE that will take place 2 weeks later.
