of no.5 and ginger tea...

This is the continuation of my previous entry about hiking directions. On this entry, i will give the directions to no.5 from no.3. The directions are very very simple, but more on that later.
First thing first. the Hike from no.3 to no.5 is very much different from the hike from youth park to no.3. It is comparatively very much more streneous and you should pace yourself.
So here are the directions:
At no.3 look for the big signboard that says "private property". there should be a set of steps on the left. Go up that set of stairs.










Then continue with the next set of steps...









and the next.....









and next.....









and next lagi ....









i think by now you get the picture.


But despair not, troop on a few more set of steps until you come to what seems like a fork at the top of the last set of steps. Take the path to the left. The path to the right will lead you down the hill to the Moon Gate near the Botanical Gardens (another steep path)












After you take the left, you should see a straight and flat path. Go all the way to the end of the path and you'll reach no.5. This should be a very enjoyable walk after the strenous hike from n0.3. Also, because this flat part of the path is actually is a valley between two hills, ther will normally be a breeze blowing which is very refreshing. Now, did i not mention earlier that the directions are very simple?










At the end of the path you should be able to see no.5.














If all the hiking have loosen your bowels and you feel the need to poot poot, there are toilets for your relief.














There's even an open gym with a view facing the northen part of the island.





























At the opposite side of the area is a ledge with the view of the east part of the island. If you go in the weekend afternoons, they will serve water, coffee and ginger tea. Do try the tea. It's a bit strong but good.














So there it is. the directions to no.3 and no.5. If you decide to try them, I hope you will find them enjoyable as i did.


*Disclaimer:Mind you that the directions are just for referance and should not be followed blindly. New paths do open up, trails do get overgrown, conditions do change so do top up with a fair bit of common sense when going up the trails. I must also warn that people have got lost (and lost their lives before) so do stick to the existing trail. I cannot and will not hold responsibility for if anything untoward should happen.
