Batam short getaway.

I bought the deal from deal.com.sg months back. After at least 2-3 times of re-scheduling, Cy and I finally settled on a date to redeem our trip to Batam. Too difficult to find a good time where both of us are free, especially during the week days. Anyway, it was good and as we both are in our current job, we get a lot of flexibility to take off. :)) 

So, we set off to Batam last Monday. Took the 12pm ferry from Harbour Front. It was our first time. The ferry tickets are quite expensive, $40 for two-ways and it was not even straight to our destination. Had a stop at sekupang before reaching waterfront. 

Luckily the ferry was quite big so, it was quite stable through the journey. It took us about an hour before reaching Waterfront. 

In the ferry

Upon checking in to our resort, we got served lunch! yep, the voucher we bought included free land transfer, lunch, breakfast, and bowling. :) 

Starter 

Food was so-so. Was not fantastic. Cy had some stewed beef while I ordered chicken cajun. We were so full after the meal cause they served us complimentary fruits. Each of us had our very own fruit platter. 

After the meal, we went to Nagoya, the so called newest shopping plaza in Batam town. Its about 30-40 minutes drive from Harris resort. The place is so run down. Reminds me a lot of the old malacca. Anyway, we spent most time in the hypermarket. Cy and I bought a lot of indo-mee. lol damn cheap!

Redeemed our bowling games. Old old bowling alley.

Dinner was our cup noodle. lol. We didnt want to waste money on expensive hotel buffet. 

ding-dong! Cy ordered dessert from room service .. hehe 

The next day, the breakfast was quite good. :) Cereals and omelet for breakfast. :) 

There were lots of cats around during breakfast. Fed them with omelet, sausages and bread. 

The water was not fantastic but it was calm even though it was open sea. Cy and I kayak-ed for 30 minutes. Each of us had our own kayak. haha. 

lazed beside the pool. Hot and sunny day. 

 We had some Indonesian food in a nearby warung. Well, we still got to pay in Sg! zzz. Chi Tzar price.

Waiting for lunch.

That's all for this month. Next trip will be Taiwan in October. Then Bintan in the following month. :))
