I am Eden | Marina Barrage Singapore Escapades with @paulajolix | Free and Easy Tour

---

Hello Hivers!

@IamEden is back here with you. As promised, I will be sharing with you all my Marina Barrage escapades with my very good friend Hive account@paulajogalix, and this time she is our model! I am so excited to tell you all about it.

It was actually my last tour before flying back to the Philippines and if you happen to watch or read my previous post (@iameden/gfhbxjmv) this is the continuation. And on this very same day, I went first to do sailing with my ex-colleagues. My manager finally decided to gave me a farewell party on a yacht and of course I will do another upload on that, so please stay tuned.

Let's go ahead and meet our friend Hive account@paulajogalix.

So, after our sail, I asked one of my colleagues to drive me to the nearest MRT station and from there, I will be riding a bus to our rendezvous.

Once you are inside the MRT station, make sure to alight at the DOWNTOWN station (Blue line), then take Exit A to find The Sail Bus stop. At exit A, use the escalator to go up, and once you are outside, cross over the street (make sure to use the pedestrian lane).

Another way is to find the Exit E at the Downtown station (the easiest way up directly in front of the bus stop where you have to wait for the BUS 400, it is 5 bus stop away to Marina Barrage.

Okay, guys, here is the tricky part, there is only one bus to go to Marina Barrage, it is Bus 400. If you miss this bus, you'll have to wait for another 20-30mins, otherwise, you take a cab (fare ranges from 10-15sgd depending if it's a busy hour) while taking a bus is around $3.

I managed to reach Marina Barrage after 30 minutes of waiting, meaning I miss the previous bus and my ride took me for only 5 minutes.

Okay, guys, the couple in the photo is not me, alright. I wish I am. 😁

They took the same bus with me. 😛

My friend Jo waited for me patiently and we were both so hungry and we decided to head straight to 'Satay by the Bay' before roaming around the place.

We actually thought at first that it was closed but we were lucky that it was open for us to explore the place. We took a lot of photos together. We actually miss each other and it is a big NO-NO if we won't be able to meet up before my flight.

Some of you may ask, what is Marina Barrage?

Well, Marina Barrage is actually part of the comprehensive flood control scheme to alleviate flooding in the low-lying areas in Singapore such as Chinatown, Boat Quay, Jalan Besar, and Geylang. During heavy rain, the series of nine crest gates at the dam are activated to release excess stormwater into the sea when the tide is low.

But apart from that, they make Marina Barrage one of the tourist spots in Singapore where you can actually get a 360 degrees view of the city and the sea around Singapore, for free! Isn't it amazing!

So guys, if you happen to go to Singapore, make sure to put this place on your bucket list.

For an amazing view, please watch the video above.

Thank you guys once again for taking the time to read or watch this post.

If you want to know more about it, feel free to reach out to me and I'll try my best to assist you in any way I can.

Till my next journey!
