1142. loving bintan

Rant of the day: Seasick...........

I love short get-aways. It gives us time to break the routine and provide some breathing space. I think so far, Bintan has always been a fantastic place to take a quick break over a long weekend. It's not a very long ride from Singapore and language wise, it's more or less manageable. And, there's no need to monitor exchange rate for Rupiah because they spend in SGD.

But of course, the bad part about "holiday-ing" in Bintan is the expenses. A mere lunch and dinner can fetch around S$60! That's expensive... So, where possible, bring your own food and drinks. Cut cost but unless you are loaded and spending poses no problem.

We all love the beach. Seriously, you can't get this in Singapore. Minus other places like Bali or Redang of course. This is the best we can get with just a 55min ferry ride from Singapore!

Other than eating, soaking up in the pool and "beach-walking", the next best thing to do there is massage. No photos for that but honestly, we love their couple package. S$138 for 2, including massage and body scrub. 100min of pure relaxation.

Spending time in Bintan feels like the minutes slows down. Time goes by so slowly.

Think this year isn't a travel year. After this trip, the next short trip should be in August. My leave is already approved. But where to go? Bangkok? Genting? Somewhere budget definitely.

For now, my heart and soul are still in Bintan even though the body is already back here.

Back to work tomorrow but hey, this is another short week! 4 working days!
