Had a 2D1N "weekend getaway" in Batam some time ago. Had been wanting to post this but was having some frustrating problems in uploading the pictures to blogspot... Anyway...
At the ferry terminal, waiting for the ferry to take-off...
Took a few shots of the morning sun. Very glaring, but nice...
And finally after waiting and waiting, 终于开始出发了!
And finally after waiting and waiting, 终于开始出发了!
On the way towards south, the 风景 is FANTASTIC!!!
Saw some people canoeing early in the morning...
Wait a moment, it looks very familiar hor...
It's the RASA SENTOSA RESORT!
Have been there several times (just had a recent post on it), but first time looking at it from the sea...
Everything looks so "fresh" in the morning sun...
Arriving at the Batam Centre Ferry Terminal,
There, was received by the "tour-guide", who was supposed to bring us around on a half-day tour (including lunch), then send us back to hotel end of the day...
On the bus, saw this little boy had to start selling newspaper at this age to earn a living...
We were brought to the first tourist attraction, which is a temple.
Of course the beautiful flower there caught my lenses attention again...
We stayed there for almost 45min, and it started drizzling.
These 金元宝 is right at the front of the temple. HUAT AH!!!!
About one hour before lunch time, the bus brought us to this place called "Golden City", which is similar to an amusement park area, just next to our lunch destination...
Several activities which the tour-guide "encouraged" us to try out strongly, such as Flying-Fox, Go-Kart, etc...
(Of course there are charges for these, but I didn't try any of them =)
This is the Flying-Fox area.
The Go-Kart tracks were broad...
Oh, there was also the "Batam Flyer", but no one was on it...
There was the Cheng Ho ship too... (but I think it wasn't open)
There's this small park, to display the minatures of the different housing structures in Indonesia...
