Bintan pictures!
Hey ho! I know I've been procrastinating, but blogger is so slow! Anyways, pictures! Pictures! Pictures!Bintan Trip!
In the ferry, heading for our island retreat.
Our first lunch at Angsana Resort and Spa!
After lunch. The weather was really really great. The kind that makes you wanna just stretch out on a deck chair and spend the afternoon lazing away.
Woohoo! Perfect match, babeh! Brown rocks!(: Oh and there was this group of men, Japanese, I think. We saw them when we were having lunch, and then when we headed towards the pool we saw them stretched out on their backs on the deck chairs, already knocked out and looking remarkably like logs laid out side by side. Or perhaps, for a more appropriate er... comparison, like sausages cooking in the sun. Hehheh. But they were amusing lah, really, the cute and chubby group of men. Haha.
Our fabulous eat-in dinner. I know its only canned food, but it was a lovely and heart-warming.(:
After dinner was Spa. One thing I must say, though. It really is quite amazing how much strength the masseuse had packed in her small frame. And all of them were tiny and pint-sized!
The next day.
Breakfast!
Morning walk that turned out to be more like a Nature walk, really. But it was a really amazing experience. The guide brought us out of the resort and into the forest trails beside the resort, to the fisherman's village and then through rocks and back to the resort. We saw little chicks that were not a fluffy yellow, but black and white! Amazing, amazing!
Girl-bonding session over our little lunch! Unfortunately it was raining the whole day, so we didn't manage to go down to the pool. We did go for spa, though. Okay at least Joan and I did, and we had an outdoor spa experience. It really was quite therapeutic, breathing in the relaxing scent of lavender, listening to the waves whilst enjoying a massage. Oh boy I really can't wait to go back again soon.
All dressed up for our dinner reservation at Bayan Tree! It felt like a girl's night out, haha.(:
The amazing view at Bayan Tree. There's their pool, and at the edge of the pool you get a sea view! Its like falling out of the pool into the sea, and it was really lovely.
The meal was great, and I really loved my red snapper. Dessert was fab too! This is us at the restaurant, all happy and contented. Oh and did I mention they had a lovely washroom? Qixin and Joan went quite crazy over it, haha!
The guide told us we would be able to catch sunrise if we wake up early enough, and so we did.
Beautiful beautiful.
The beach in the morning. A post-card worthy shot, if you ask me.
I really love the way they place the towels on the deck chairs.
We were determined to get some sun, and so we hit the pool early in the morning.
Breakfast! They had wonderful, wonderful jams. Qixin and Joan went crazy over their yummy dark cherry jam, and I went crazy over their strawberry jam. The sight of real strawberries in my starwberry jam just makes my day. *beams*
Oh, we went bonkers over their muffins too, haha!
Us at the entrance to the Angsana Spa and Gallery.
Then it was time to pack up and leave the resort.
Waiting at the lobby for the bus to fetch us to the ferry terminal.
On the ferry heading home. Byebye, Bintan. It was a fun trip and I'll definitely be back!(:(:
