Bintan Island Tour 7-9th Jul'07

I was been arranged to go for a trip with customers - Wolfgang and Werner from Qimonda. My bosses: Eng KT, Eric and Soo Pin also joined us for trip. We went to Bintan Island Indonesia, located somewhere south China Sea, 1 hr boat ride from Singapore Tanah Merah Jetty Terminal. This was a 3 days 2 nites trip and skip working for 1 day-Monday...yahoo:)

After 1 hrs boat ride, really felt like vomit as the boat was quite shaking. afterward, - there was a prearranged bus took us to Hotel-Nirwana Bintan Resort about 20minutes journey from Jetty.
Once we step in, there was a welcome band/dancing welcome us for arrival....wah sek, really felt myself was an important guest to them:P . Wah, next it was really open my eye big big......there were a nice swimming pool next to beach...a pool bar can let u have a drink while swimming or jacuzzi in the pool....wide and tidy glass field...few teres of hotel rooms.....wahhh prefect:)





After lunch and check in room, we went to snorkelling. Well, even with nice beach and accommodation, the snorkelling site was a bit out of expectation. It was a bad visibility and not really a nice reef life there. Somehow, all of us still have nice moments there:)




After snorkelling, we tried the banana boat ride. That one was really fun...unexpected thrilling and fun:) We were pulling by a boat and make a few scary turning. Few of it was over turned and make us fall into water. Wah, that was unexpected but fun!


At nite, we went to Kelong restaurant having seafood dinner:)

Next day, I went to mountain biking with Werner after breakfast. What a nice and relaxing biking. We cycled round the Nirwana resort and visit a few places: Lake, view point and restaurants....Especially when we stand at view point, we can see the whole beach and resort.



After that, we went to Jet Ski, kayaking....wah, it was really tiring but fun:P) Then, at night we went to Thai restaurant called " Baan Aryuya". That restaurant decorated like " french restaurant" and quite romantic. I saw few pictures that few couple were having their wedding ceremony in this restaurant together with pastor and their relatives. Changing ring and kissing with sunset scenery....so romantic ahhh...really hope that one day i can have that kind of romantic wedding ceremony too:)
Next day which is our last day in Bintan. We went to "Mangroove tour" on boat in the morning. That scenery was looked familar to me, blue sky and river scenery. I felt like myself inTahan National Park, Malaysia. Looking for wild animal and plants beside river. The boat was driving slowly in order to capture any wild animal. We saw mangroove snake, monitor lizard, crabs and weird aunts where it can swim on top of water surface.
2:30pm boat ride back to Singapore. It was really a pleasure and unexpected fun trip to me.
