844. bintan, the arrival

Shout of the day: I love massage!

I'm back!!!

Bintan is really fantastic. Don't ask me which part of the trip is good, because it's my first time to Bintan, I have no expectation. So, anything and almost everything is good! Moreover, this trip was organised by dear as a birthday gift!

I love it!

So, throughout the 2D1N stint, had many many first time...

First time at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.
First time to Bintan.
First time overseas with dear.
First time staying in a suite.
First time having a full body massage.
First time seeing the most beautiful starry night.

Oh well... Took quite a handful of photos...

First time at this ferry terminal. It's a bit confusing here but still, it's very orderly managed. A first-timer can still find what they need.

Grab a quick shot before boarding.

Too bored during the 1 hour ferry ride. So what? Listen to mp3 and take more photos!!!

I see land! We are almost there! Gosh... Backside sit until numb le lar!!!

Here we are. The Bintan Ferry Terminal. Erm... Ya... It's in a mess as compared to our own terminal.

The bus ride is pretty fast. Minus the waiting time, it took only about 30min to reach out resort -- Nirwana Resort Hotel. We originally booked Mayang Sari (or something lidat) right in front of the beach but we got a FOC upgrade to a Nirwana suite! Photos of the suite will be in next post.

We were greeted by dance and songs at the entrance. What an intriguing way to welcome guests and I really appreciate it.

The lobby is a lil old but very traditional. I like it very much.

As we were a lil early and the room ain't ready, went for lunch at the Poolside Restaurant. The look of prices may be a lil scary though. Dear got a chicken pizza. The pizza is seriously too big! But it taste really good. Pizza huge enough for 2 pax @ S$12.

I've got the traditional Indonesian beef stew. And yummy! It is superb! Love it! The beef are damn huge! Soup + bread/rice @ S$8.

Ok. Enough for today. Time to turn in. zzzZZZzzz
