 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.
