Batam Island, Sept 2010

To see photos in chronological order, start from Bottom of post.

Everyone should try para-sailing, it is less scary than it looks. 15 minutes in the air was sufficient for us to get a aerial view of the island.

Check out the ''Jumbo King Prawns'' the kelong restaurant promised to serve us. Parasailing was fun, effortless and relaxing. Eric, our convoy captain leader. The romantic walk to the Jetty. Voyage homebound to Sg after a relaxing weekend at Batam.


The Jetty Pier at Turi Beach Resort. Walking along the wooden planks to the Jetty. The journey along the way.


The bow. Turi Beach resort watersports facility-offers snorkelling, wakeboarding, knee-boarding, jet-skiing, flying fish, parasailing. The marina at Nongsa, where we docked.

The flying fish-a head-neck bumping contraption that literally allows the passenger to ''fly'' in the air while the boat speeds across the sea. Walking along the shaded paths from Nongsa Resort to Turi Beach Resort. The Beach-slightly was cleaner than Singapore, but at least it wasnt superficial.

Batam Nongsa Island Resort. Architecture was reminsicent of the colonial times. The Resort Lobby, where we were served refreshments-Fruit cocktail!


Setting off in a convoy. prepping the boat on arriving at the Marina. The Captain. The Crew.
