Bintan Indulgence

we had a fantabulous, great weekend over at Nirwana Resort in Bintan. Anyone who wants a super duper relaxing and indulgence time should really consider going there. Yes, money spent is 1 thing but let me tell you it is really a holiday that i think girls will really want. We reckon that places like Bintan, Bali, Maldives etc should be the ideal honeymoon place for newly weds. A place of relaxation. Heavenly!

We decided to go bintan during my birthday and we did! I am glad we did coz this is really the kind of relaxing holiday that I have been dreaming of. No stress, holiday within a holiday, do whatever i want and just nua and stay in the hotel to make full use of their facilities. No stress over money as well. Haha. Okie to start off with, we were almost late for our ferry to bintan. Suppose to check in at 10.10am but guess what, we just board the taxi at that time. Reached TMFT at 10.40am, 30mins exactly before the ferry departs and the last to check in before the counter closed. Phew, we made it in time. The 1hr boat ride was fine except that it started raining half way and we reckon that over at bintan, it must be raining cats and dogs. But no worries, our plans were not spoilt becoz it's a indulgent friday where we are going for spa and massage. Wow! good right, no wasting of time and all. Reached nirwana gardens at 11am local time and we checked in (didn't like the room though and had a change of room the next day.) and went for lunch. At 2.45pm, we went for spa masaage, traditional javanese massage and body scrub follow by a herbal bath. We got complimentary upgrade to garden pavilion which was totally private. Wow man! By the time we finished, it's already 6pm and we went back to our resort hotel and had room service. Haha... too relax and nua to go for dinner. Everything can wait till the next day. That's how I spent my birthday but totally satisfied. :)

The next morning, we slept in and nua till abt 9am, bathed and changed room and off to breakfast. After breakie we explore the beach and I tell you, it's so beautiful that we really regretted not taking up the offer by JnM 1 year ago to do our PS there. It's really beautiful leh! Suggesting a anniversary shoot there right, dear?? Heeheee... We went Pasar Oleh Oleh for some shopping. When we reached, we were like "oh man, so small, maybe can finish within 1hr." But you know, this small little village actually allow us to spend close to 3hrs there and spent S$180!!! Faint man! But like what dear dear said, juz spent and dun think so much. Happy can liao. Wah man! We arrived back at the resort and went swimming, the pool is good with pool bar but didn't take any drink. Haha. Then went to Kelong to take photos.. no food for us there coz 2 persons can't eat too much. So head for the Spice restaurant at Mayang Sari instead.. haiz... no ala carte that night, only bbq buffet. Ok, try it lor... authentic Indonesian food, satay was fantastic but after that, our tummies suffered. Too spicy and ate too much. :( So whole night, we have been taking turns to visit the loo.

3rd and finally day, we juz nua again till breakfast and went for mani/pedi and dear had his creme hair bath and hair spa. Then off to ferry terminal to head back home. See, super indulgence weekend right. I'm a happy happy woman after the entire trip.

Today... back to reality.
