On our way there, Jin never told us where to stop, she got distracted by us, missed the train stop and went an extra 3 more stops. We started scolding her jokingly such as, "Wah lao JINNN!! What kind of tour guide are you!?" We decided to cross the tracks and wait for the opposite train. While walking, the train was approaching the stop! "Ahh! Train come already!! Run!" This is the route we ran.
Take the best line as you go through the hairpins!
I felt like a fool running through the turns! Turn left, right, left... left right left. But it was so funny, we laughed as we ran. I reckon the drivers were having a good time watching the 3 of us run.
When we backtracked to the correct stop, Seacliff. When we alighted, Jin said confusingly, "Eh? This place don't look very familiar." And once again we went, "Wah lao JIN!!!". There was a beach at Seacliff as well. Took a break there and ate the burritos. Hehe.
This is the view of beach. I did not see any sign saying "Welcome to Seacliff Beach" so I will call it Seacliff Beach. Sorry, the picture is not very well done so do not focus on the joints and instead, imagine the full view.
She pointed to the left and said we have to walk that way. So we walked, walked, walked, walked, walked, walked. From sand, to tarmac and to wood. We realised we were trekking the hills instead of walking on the beach!
The Great Walk of Australia!
The pathway was so long! We stopped a few times to eat a piece of egg sandwich. We ate and breathed heavily like we have never eaten in for months! It was so amusing.
In the end, we walked the distance of 5 train stops and the place where she wanted to take us was actually Hallett Cove Beach. We could actually just stop at the correct train station and save our time. To sum it up, Jin thought the beach at Seacliff was the one she went to but actually wasn't sure at all, brought us there, noted her mistake, and walked the distance to reach Hallett Cove Beach.

It was a great experience nonetheless, the walk was definitely something to remember. Plus, the scenery was great and I will never walk this far to somewhere in Singapore. :P
