Can’t get any fresher than this. Oh, we didn’t take the lobster. Too little meat for four of us!

This is how you provide clean water for your customers to wash hands. Creative to the max!

This place offers good and reasonably priced seafood but to get here, must pay S$50 taxi fare, so it is really expensive but good experience for the kids.

Riding the ATV – All terrain vehicle. Steady or not!
It was really exhilarating but rather dusty.

Then, the ultimate challenge... parents vs children

This is so beautiful. I am not sure how it came about, could be from the sand dollar

…I believe. It is expensive.

We don’t usually go for holiday during the 1 week school break but this time, we decided that we all need the break. During the last December holiday, we were all so busy with the house, with my studies. The kids had their trips and camps. We thought a short trip would be good. Nearby place, cheaper (we thought)  and shorter travelling time. So, Bintan, here we come…
