Shawn took many pictures for this 3D2N trip and sharing some of my favorites. I'm thinking of making a 8" x 8" photobook using my coupon from http://www.artscow.com/ recommended by my friend, Pamela. The software silverstar provided by the site doesnt have nice templates but its free. Hopefully, my coupons have not expired yet. :)
Day 1
We reached Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal just 30mins before our 2pm ferry. :P Good thing we were allowed to board. Had a smooth boat ride.
(Below) Our resourceful Rachel read up on the activities we can do in Bintan, knowing that I have motion sickness and can't read in the boat. Good girl!

Upon reaching the Bintan terminal, we were greeted by very friendly locals and they were doubly kind to me because I had sleepy head Rachel on my shoulder.
We had a speedy check-in (because its Thursday) to our clean & spacious 1 bedroom suite with a well-equiped kitchen. However, we insisted using our own mini pot to cook moo moo's porridge.

(Above both) There was a sofa bed in the living room for moo moo to roll about and nap in the day while we watched her from the kitchen area when preparing lunch.
(Above both) In the room was a comfortable queen size poster bed for Rachel to do her push ups while we prepare her bath. It was then that I spotted her tooth O (see illustration in previous post). *Hee*
Despite having 2 queen size beds in the suite, we squeezed into the poster bed at night cause Daddy Shawn say its bonding time. My back ached from that night's 'bonding' (with moo spinning in her dream & Shawn snoring away). Sigh!
(Left) Rachel watching 'Your baby can read' before her night feed and zzz. Thanks to Uncle George (mummy's colleague) for the VCDs.
Day 2
Rachel woke up early at 6.50am and cried for milk. Bintan's sun rises at around 6am and even with the heavy curtains drawn, it didnt stop the blazing sun rays from entering our room, which probably was the reason that woke Rachel up. Or was it tooth O?
We went for a swim at 10am after breakfast and lazy cuddles. Rachel didnt like the neck float that we bought from Kiddy Palace so we just let her play with water and swim around. Good thing we decided to swim earlier than planned because it rained shortly after we got out. Rain continued till evening!

Shawn & I then took turns to be pampered in Angsana Spa in the afternoon. The massage was excellent and well worth every dollar!

After we fed our princess porridge in the evening, we went to the Kelong to have our dinner. Pity, food was not as great as last year's.
(Below right) Rachel was napping in the shuttle bus on the way to Kelong but she woke up minutes after we started our dinner. Put her in the high chair and she was so obedient and 'daze-y' (but for a while).
Day 3
Shawn suggested bringing Rachel for a walk in the beach after her morning feed (so that I can continue to sleep). The morning was chilling and I really would love to snuggle in bed but I went ahead with them. After all, its family bonding time. :)
(Below at the beach) Jap-wannabe... daddy call her moomooto.
After the cool refreshing walk, we went back to pack our stuff. Going back was much lighter without the 2 big bottles of Singapore water (for moo's consumption only) and the food stuff.

Rachel was crying for attention while we were packing. Her cries are getting 'pitch-ier' these days. Terrible. We really didnt want to carry her around while we pack so I threw 2 of the complimentary apples for her to play since her toy was in the luggage already. Luckily, she loved the apples and enjoyed smelling and licking them, leaving us time to pack.
(Below left) The green apple became a great prop for quick snaps.
The ride back was not as easy as she got super grouchy due to lack of naps. There was no proper sleeping area for her so we got to carry her throughout the 1 hr journey.
(Below right) Prior to her being grouchy, she insisted to sit by herself. Anyway, she paid for that seat. Wierd that the Bintan Resort Ferries charge though she was only 8 mth +. Thought charges usually for 3 yrs and above?
