Where? Exactly...why I wanted to go there.
For the weekend, I went with a friend of mine to wonderful Bintan, Indonesia. From Singapore, it's only a 2 hour ferry ride away. We picked a place that was marketed as an "adventure resort" and as gorgeous as the scenery was, it was an adventure, to say the least.
Here is a snapshot of our activities.
This 3 hour hike - uphill - was in about 100 degree weather. Note the ropes to help us get to the top of the mountain. Would have been good to know about beforehand, or I probably would not have worn my Tevas! I did mention that this was an "adventure" right?
The place we stayed in was amazing too. How cool is this??
Breakfast in Bintan was unique. Who knew that ramen was a breakfast dish? Well it is!
One of the highlights was how people get around - they basically pile everything on a motorbike. It can be your entire family or your entire crop of goods.
