08~11 March 2008 (4D/3N)
Biking Distance: 98Km
On 08 March 2008, we started off the journey by driving to the Singapore Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal for Bintan Island which is located south of Singapore. The fast ferry to the island took almost an hour. We arrived at Bintan, Tanjung Uban Ferry Terminal around 3pm. As my partner was from Taiwan she had to arrange VISA on Arrival for USD10. This was partner first oversea biking experience.
After which we started our 40km biking to the Nostaliga Yasin Bungalow Resort on the east coast of Bintan. The journey on the island was not easy even we were riding on the road. There were many 30 to 40 degree uphill ride along the way. As we rode further away from Tanjung Pinang, the traffic got lesser. We managed to arrive the resort around 7pm, about 3.5hours bike ride. This was the cheapest and natural resort holidays we ever had on water, mini Maldives. Our room cost just SGD30.00 a night without air-con but there was a fan also service and food was great. We decided to spent 2 nights with our room on stilt over water. For the next 3 days, we basically played dead and enjoy beers with no other thoughts. Had morning breakfast on the carpet grass lawn and idled the whole day away.
