Batam on a weekend! Short short get away..... super shiok! We didn't book the earliest ride like my last trip, if not 7 early 8 early must be at the harbor liao. Our ferry is around 8ish, so only need to reach an hour earlier, the ride plus waiting is about 1 hour 30min, so by the time we reached ans clear custom is not even 10am Batam time..! Batam is 1 hour behind us, so we still have some time to lepak, jave tea break, walk around before check-in to hotel .
Us at Harbour Front Boarding Area
Shy gal refused to take picture with us.
For this precious picture, double chin kana captured also must sacrifice.
On ferry loh....
Disembark
Reach a little early, all shop still not opened yet, so tea break...
Cooling off the heat at the lobby with usage of the free wifi.... heavenly....
Our lodging for the night, great hotel i should say! Big, clean, convenient!
My man die die also must try the indo mee to make sure is the kind he wants!
View from our window... got the Hollywood feel not..?
Out we go looking for lunch!
Super rich soya milk with ice-cream topping!
This is one of the recommended vegetarian restaurant by online source, indeed it lives up to it's standard. Nice ambiance and great food! Location is not too difficult to find too, at least the taxi driver knew where it is.
This handsome saw me taking picture of his stall, he quickly come out to pose for us!
After this we went to the temple, it is really near like 10 min walk, but in Batam nobody walks by the road side except us. Their means of transport is at least a motorbike, so it made us very vulnerable and exposed, so it is a little unsafe to walk by the roadside that has no pavement (not designed to walk).
Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Monastery
天恩弥勒佛院
That's the name of the monastery we visited and that's the only picture i have and was not taken by me...!?!?! WTF
But at least we are see all of them are happily smiling!
