Since we did our first hike at Bukit Timah we have been wanting to try another nature preserve on the island and finally got our chance last weekend. It was one of the sunnier days we have had in recent weeks since we are in the rainy season and we wanted to take advantage of it so we headed over to MacRitchie Reservoir Park.
MacRitchie has the Tree Top Walk which we had heard was really nice so we walked the 6 km up to see some great wooded views.

A few minutes after we got off the bridge the dark clouds were rolling in and the thunder and lightning began. We were as far away as we could get from our car so the only way to go was back. We were caught in the rain when we went to Bukit Timah and didn't want that to happen again so we walked as fast as we could back to the trail head. A little ways down the trail I heard something rustling in the bushes. I stopped in my tracks as a huge tusked boar went barreling across the path in front of us. I had heard about the wild monkeys but had no idea there were wild boar, too! Thankfully, that was the only boar we saw and we were able to outrun the rain. We reached our car just as the rain started coming down.

Next time we go to MacRitchie we hope to rent some kayaks and go out on the reservoir.
