Weekend in Bintan!!






Finally made myself sit down to update the blog, especially since we did something different last weekend - went to Bintan -Angsana Resort! The pictures tell half the story of white sandy beach, blue sky (rained on saturday afternoon, but we took advantage of it --> Napped!), carefree fishes in clear water, some jelly fish ecounters, plenty of hermit crabs, romantic settings for private dinners on the beach (not for us, of course!). The other half of the story : pricy food in the hotel restaurants (US$6 for bottled water in the cafe)! For one weekend, ok lah, we still allow ourselves to splurge (by our standard) a little on buffet breakfast and meals in the cafe, since if we hired a car out to town would mean easily $$$40 on transport, 45 minutes of travel, and probably another $$$30 for a no-guarantee-to-be-nice meal.
It's really wonderful to swim in clean sea with soft sandy beach, in the midst of nature....once in a year would be a good idea.... hmmm.. slept with a smile on my face last night... :)
