17-05-2009 kusu island - the turtle island

Hello everybody

Today, i wnet to kusu island (a singaporian island), after a 30 minutes ferry trip you reach this island (with a little stop in St Johns iland in between). KUSU ISLAND means the turtle island, and it is like a turtle sanctuary, there is a budhhist temple on it and the 9th month of the lunar calendar there is something like 90000 devotees who will pay their respects there.

there is also a little malay temple at the top of the 120 steps of a little little hill. 

some baots that you can meet going out of the harbour of Marina south pier

The Indian temple and its devotees praying

The gifts offered by the devotees in the malay temple, they put one or two stones in water in a bag and hang it to the trees or whereever else they can

If you want, and really if you want you can go for a swim, personally i wouldn't because the island is surrounded by the big cargo and tanker boats waiting to come in the Singapore harbour

Some of the turtles you can find all over the island, the 2 last ones being the marbble "big sized" turtles in front of the chinese temple 

some of the flowers you can find there

without forgetting the spiders...

Coming back to Singapore you can see the skyline like you never saw it before...

Write to you soooooooooooooooooooon
