Mayang Sari - Bintan

island holiday: Bintan with Mim and Dave

Miriam and Dave arrived to stay for a week. (Its always a pleasure to have thm here). So rather than do all the thigs we have done the other times they have been in Singfapore we decided to go off shore for a couple of days, to our nearest "tropical Indonesian island" - Pulau Bintan. Only a short 45 minutes by ferry.

Did I mention its the wet season?

The ferry ride had its problems. Well I did anyhow. I was well placed amongst the many with their faces gracefullly placed in Blue plastic bags. The sea was so rough I thought I was going to die. The boys were also delighting later on in recouting the story and using examples like "fish milkshakes" to make me feel worse again!

So yes we got there and it was beautuful. The rooms at the Mayang Sari resort were wonderful, lkuxurious and looking straight over the beach.

It did rain for the 3 days we were there but the boys still surfed. mim still swam and I read 2 books. It was nice to get away.


Dave learns to surf with Simon for 5 hours

Come back soon Mim and Dave!
