Island to Island!!

Our virgin trip to St John Island/ Lazarus Island/ Kusu Island

YES!! ISLAND HOPPING within my comfort zone and.. DON'T EVEN NEED A PASSPORT !

We start our day as early as 8am..meet up point @ Marina south pier MRT.

    

Follow the sign toward Marina South Pier and it will lead you to the Marine Centre

We were there early and got ourselves a sandwich and kopi for a kick start . Nothing heavy as we don't want a live action of "MERLION IN THE BOAT"..HAHAHAH!!

I understand that there a few private boat agencies that can be chartered to the island and of course the price is way too high from the common one. Anyway we opted for the standard one. The ticket cost us $18 each and it will bring us to

St John island - Kusu Island- Marina pier.

It run by schedule and you can check it out thru this link: http://www.islandcruise.com.sg/ferry-schedule/

Our adventure started when we board the ferry. Nothing fancy about the two deck ferry but it still offer an air- conditioned cabin seat and also an open air seat.  

Our choice of seat:

This island not only popular for it reserved marine life but a home for some kitty.. Yesss ..CATS. We encountered more than 10 cats throughout our trekking. They are harmless thou and usually prefer to be left alone. Only will come by when being offered food . We bought some cat food (Thanks to Google) so we fed any cat that we came by our way .

This is at the Marine Gallery Centre

As we explore deeper of the island, we came along a stretch of connecting bridge that lead us to Lazarus Island. There is no direct ferry to Lazarus Island, so you’ll have to take the ferry to St John’s Island first, before walking in to Lazarus Island by foot. The walking journey take about 10 minutes

Welcome to Lazarus Island guys!!

Lazarus Island might just be our new favourite beach chill-out spot on that day.

The tranquil, clear blue waters and a relatively empty beach, -  prefect to stroll by the beach and a therapeutic on a whole new level.

We practically have the entire beach - or even the island - bet on her desired tan in peace. 

And if you’re one of those self-conscious people who are dying for a tan, but hate the idea of sun tanning in the open at the mercy of prying eyes, then Lazarus Island is the perfect place for you. 
All the essentials are present: the sun, the soft sand, the sound of the sea.
The only thing missing is the annoying crowd you so hate much.



Here the beach model of the day!

Whether you’re on the island for a stroll or to simply relaxing on the beach , the weather is little unbearable and it’s essential

that you stay hydrated.

Prepare yourself with lotsa of sunscreen/sunblock, shade, hat and whatever not unless you don't mind looking  like a "roasted chicken".

No beach trip is ever complete without a picnic. Honestly we are not prepare for this. All we have is just a mineral water each and 2 pressed buns ( my friend packed it her bag and it end up being flatten) hahahaha!!

If you are planning to travel to this island, it advisable to bring your own food kitchen here as there no café or shop.

AND don't even a vending machine.

Ultimately we decided to stop the hunger pang by stuffing ourselves with the buns before we go for a dip.

I can really see they are enjoying themselves right?

 

while I prefer ..  to be ME!!

KUSU ISLAND

Here we go...

We took the ferry to Kusu Island ( check the ferry schedule)

The name Kusu means "Tortoise" or "Turtle" in Chinese and the very moment we step our feet ..we saw big temple just round the corner.

The island is not big.. probably about 45 min to round up!

We didn't really explored much in Kusu island as it was raining but the I guess the main reason  we are all famished !!

My well spend weekend.. thanks to my 2 kakis who been tolerating with my nonsenses and complain!

Till we meet again guys..
