Getting ready for a short weekend getaway to Bintan!
Feeling pretty excited cos i havent been to a beach resort for some time now.. (discounting batam since we didn't get to enjoy the beach at all)

*~we all at tanah merah ferry terminal ~*

*~us again on the ferry ~*

*~ arriving at bintan, already enjoying the breeze ~*

*~ dearie and his choco avocado milkshake ~*

*~ bing and daniel enjoy their tropical lime juice ~*

*~ our first sumptious lunch.. must have cost ard sgd $50?? ~*

*~ curious looking tents.... ~*

*~ view from the corridor outside our rooms at bintan agro beach resort ~*

Walked around a bit.. didn't do anything exciting... and soon we headed downstairs for our dinner, inclusive in the getaway package...

*~ this is my dearie's new first name ~*

*~ soup.... ~*

*~ and some spicy looking chicken rice set ~*

To make sure daniel also joined us for the free massage (again part of the package), we picked foot reflexology~ :)

*~ bing happily enjoying herself ~*

*~ me and dearie ~*

Next morning, rise and shine! Time for some serious beach fun!!
Of course not being very great swimmers, we put on our safety gear... :P

*~ us, looking very dry ~*

We picked a package of 4 activities - banana boat, U-slalom, big mable, and flying fish..

and of course, a banana boat just looks like a banana! the idea was to make sharp turns and have us fall into the sea.. and that we did just as we were expected to...

*~ banana boat ~*

the u-slalom is a real test of your strength... how well u can keep HANGING there....

*~ u-slalom ~*

big mable... looked nice and comfy.. but it was amazing how much pain i remember having while sliding from side to side as we sped thru the waters... hmm...
