Back from Bintan...a little tiring but for me, its all good fun...for him...all was okay I guess...except for the ferry trips which killed him...
We did nothing much except eating...eating...and still eating...ate so much food that I think I must have put on at least 2kg now...
Wanted to go for the snorkelling trip cos he hasnt done it before...thought it would be a good experience for him but the weather was so bad and unpredictable that we gave up the idea and stayed in our room, enjoying the air-con and tv...*yawn*...
Managed to have a few games of pool and haha..I was actually lucky enough to beat him 3:2 I think...the temporary tatoo didnt have very nice or fanciful designs to tempt us into having one..if not I think it would be rather cool to have the same prints on our hands/wrists...
Overall, Bintan is pretty much still the same where I last visited it...expensive and over-priced...no more shuttle buses around the island restaurants..only via Taxis and they are highy expensive...but Bintan Lagoon Resort seems to have more activities to do than Nirwana Gardens...they have their own water-sports centre at least...plus their food at most restaurants are really good...minus the Gado-Gado that we tried on the first day...really can't appreciate it..the sauce is nice and I think people who enjoy this dish might feel that its really good..not for me...the pick-on-most-food girl...
Sun could have been more cooperative though...rain almost every hour...quite a spoiler...but their leisure centre thus provides a number of in-house activities...pool...table tennis...gaming room...spa...2 mahjong tables...karaoke lounge..but bear in mind all these have a cost attached to it...rental and etc...
well..overall...give this trip a 6/10..could have been better if we stayed longer or the Sun is more cooperative...or if everything can reduce their prices by 20%...next time if i go...I wanna stay at Angsana Spa Resort...but dont think this will happen in the near future...Bintan is not really a place that you can keep going back I feel...
will post more pictures tomorrow...he's reading his comic while I typing this..he didn't even know I'm typing my blog..."blockhead" again...haha...
