Pulau Ubin Part 3

The 3rd and final (for now) part of the Pulau Ubin series is centred on the village itself, the area near the jetty. Without venturing far from the jetty, you can already see, smell and feel lots in this little seaside village. Stepping into Ubin Village from the bumboat never fails to enchant me as I am brought back in time to Singapore in its 50s/60s.

Greeting you as you leave the jetty, is the Visitor Centre to the right. There's some really cool info and photos of the island from the past.

That's Vincent at the bottom picture, he has a provision shop and a few vans on Ubin. Speaks PERFECT English.
