Last weekend, some friends suggested a walk along the Robertson Quay. I went along gladly, happy to have something new to share for my post on Wednesday.
#WednesdayWalk is a challenge started by @tattoodjay, The idea is to get out for a short walk, and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start.
Robertson Quay used to be one of three wharfs along the Singapore River. It is at the furthest reach of the Singapore River. The other two quays are Boat Quay and Clarke Quay.
In the 1990s, the area was redeveloped for hotel, commercial and residential uses. It is now an urbanized area filled with restaurants, pubs, cafes, condominiums, offices and other recreational facilities. Robertson Quay offers a tranquil ambience for an intimate dinner by the Singapore River, or a hip and happening evening to chill out with friends.
With its eclectic mix of international restaurants with alfresco dining, wine bars, arts houses, hotel cafes and high class condominiums, Robertson Quay has come into its own with a string of pleasant dining spots that have attracted their own following.

Robertson has a quiet charm and elegance I find lacking in the other two quays. Here are some pictures.
This is where you embark on a river cruise
Apartments along the river. These condominiums cost a fortune.
A children's playground
I am afraid the quality of the pictures at night are not very good. I will have to go back in the day some time and take some decent photos.
The Robertson Square. There is a fountain in the center of the square. Shops and restaurants are on the ground level, and slightly at the back are the hotels, and apartments.
The landmark clock tower
A night shot of the river. The picture actually turned out better than I hope.
