For our final four-day weekend of the year, we set sail for Bintan island.
|
It is only 55 minutes away by ferry and you can feel the heat of the equator as you get closer. |
|
I usually get seasick, but I chose not to take any precautions. Instead, I got some salty chips at the appropriately named B(a)RF Deli once we boarded the ferry. |
|
Bintan is one of several Indonesian islands and is immensely popular with the Singaporeans. |
|
We stayed at the Bintan Lagoon Resort with a view of the Jack Nicklaus golf course overlooking the South China Sea. |
|
At the Icon Restaurant in town, we ate mutton satay and delicious rice! |
|
The skies were velvety purple at dusk. |
|
There are many places to get Indonesian massages, but we just admired the relief sculptures instead. |
|
We took a mangrove boat tour at night to see fireflies and to gaze at the stars. |
|
While recording a heavy rain storm the next day, I captured this lightning bolt accompanied by a loud thunderclap! |
|
We topped off the journey by feeding the extra large koi fish in front of the hotel. |
