Stairwaves to Henderson

I have always wanted to visit the highest bridge in Singapore. And I finally did on Friday. True enough, it was magnificently high; as you may not notice it unless you tilt your head up towards the sky for an at least 80 deg from the horizontal while driving on the road.

We parked the car at the first car park we see after driving through depot road. Initially the winding walking trail up to the bridge was pretty steep. Also, do watch out for the sign board to make sure that you are walking towards Henderson Waves and not Forest Trail or something, as the same carpark has many exits. In less than 5min, we reached the tip of the 36m above Henderson Road.

I must say that the bridge does look better from the outside, that is when you look at it from the road beneath because of the bright LED lights outlining the wave design of the bridge. The lightes remains on from 7pm to 2am daily. On the bridge itself, it was spacious and wide, with lots of spaces for kids to run around, couples to spend a quiet time, and groups of friends for a cosy getaway. There are also a handful of night joggers there, taking on the challenge of the steep meandering track.

It takes less than 15min for a slow stroll from one end of the bridge to the other. But it is a good walk as we were all so full after a sumptuous claypot chicken dinner at Clementi. We did not venture further than the Henderson Waves, even though we know that the end of the road will lead to Mt Faber and eventually Vivocity. Next time maybe, when all of us are in better and more suited gear =P

I will definitely go back to the Henderson Waves again, the next time in the early morning to savour the other views of daybreak. I will also like to visit the Alexander Arch, Southern Rideges and Floral Walk & HortPark! It will be great if I can get some potted plants from the HortPark to put in my office (Hopefully...)!

Hmmm.. I can already imagine that the day scenes will be as gorgeous as the Stairway to Heaven.
