Last day @ Bintan
This will be an extremely long post, cos I'm trying to end of all entries of the Bintan trip.
If you know me well enough, you should kknow that I wouldn't sleep well in a strange place on the very 1st few days. As usual, I was the 1st to be up and out of bed. While waiting for my room-mates to wash up, I went for a stroll around the resort.
Notice that the 1st few pics are a bit hazy or foggy? That's bcos of the camera lens, having stayed in an air-con room through the whole night.
at the swimming pool, it has that seamless effect that it is joined to the sea.
here's another pic
the pool bar, right in the middle of the pool
look how the coconut trees can merge with its surrounding
the recreational staff have just started to bring out the beach chairs
it's the sun!
it's only 7am (Indo time), thus the quiet beach
Time to head back to the room and get my pals for Breakfast! Under the Summer Treat promotions, our package comes with complimentary breakfast buffet at "The Coffee Shop"
Our plans for today was to head off to do some shopping at Pasar Oleh Oleh before heading back to SG. After breakfast, we went to the front desk to do more research on this market. The staff actually suggests 2 other markets instead of Pasar Oleh Oleh, but these were about half to an hr drive away. As mentioned by him, these are bigger markets, which means there will be bigger damage to us...Haha.
It's a pity, cos due to time constraints, we could only go for Pasar Oleh Oleh. There will be a shuttle bus service from the resort to Pasar Oleh Oleh and back. We decided to take the earliest bus out @ 10.35am so that we can shop til we drop. It would cost us SG$6 each for unlimited rides.
...the shuttle bus schedule
Upon reaching Pasar Oleh Oleh, we were rather disappointed. We had actually intended to spend more than 2 hrs there before going back to the resort. But guess what, we managed to cover the whole place within half an hr! It's really small. I can cover all shops in 3 pics below.
the 1st few shops
and here's a couple more shops
the most modern shop I can find in this market...
Disappointment! Since it was still early we then decided to catch the 12noon bus and make a trip to the ferry terminal. Of cos to shop! There was a factory outlet just beside the terminal. That's our target!
The Real Bandung Factory Outlet
Eh, also no much things to shop! Haiz, it's a wasted trip! Bintan is just not a shopping place. Now u guys should know why I got nothing to buy back for you liao right. Well back to the resort to grab lunch. Lunch was at the same place we had breakfast, cos it hot outside and we have already check-out of our rooms. Nowhere we can shower and hence the choice was definitely an air-con place.
Fried Kuay Teow
something similiar to our nasi lemak
and my all time fav - Spaghetti bolognaise
And below a couple more pics of the resort before we catch the shuttle bus for the terminal.

Bye Bintan and welcome back to Singapore! I will definitely be making another holiday trip to Bintan - for the Sun!
