Bintan Island Trip Day 2: 8th December 2012, Saturday
民丹岛之旅第二天:12月8日2012年, 星期六


And it's Day 2! I think we wanted to watch the sunrise but think we ended up sleeping all the way till 8am+ and then went for breakfast.

Where's the morning sun?

And so we went down to the hotel restaurant for the complimentary buffet breakfast. It's an array of Asian food food like kueh (cakes), curry puffs, and various other types of food like porridge, roti prata, omelettes, fried rice etc. Quite an interesting spread of food, which is rather different from what you get in normal hotel buffet breakfasts.





After breakfast, we decided to walk around the area and wandered off to the kelong area of the resort. It was comfortably windy, which gave us great picture-taking opportunities.



We then took the free shuttle service to the sister resort, Bintan Agro Beach Resort. We brought our swimwear along to swim in the swimming pool over there.

The iconic slanted coconut tree.

A small chill out area with pool table and a bar.

We found a tree swing!

Dangerous stunt. Do not try this.

We had a small lunch at the cafe. Spaghetti bolognese with a generous topping of cheese.

And some mushroom soup.

The beach area was so deserted.

We crossed the road to the chalet area containing the villa units.

The club house is in the background. And we had the whole swimming pool to ourselves!

After a swim, we played pool.

And enjoyed the rest of the afternoon just chilling out along the beach.

Leaving our mark on the Bintan beach.

So after our swim and pool session, we headed back to our resort and had dinner at the restaurant on the kelong again. This time we ordered quite a lot of food as well. How did we manage to finish all the food below!?
