Batam Day 2

Lil Isaac actually slept through the night! There were some flipping and he woke up a couple of times but slept through nevertheless. He woke up at 6ish and the sky was already bright.

We headed straight for the buffet bfast. The spread was decent but the service was super slow. Daddy Lim insisted for eggs and waited 30 mins when there were less than 5 people in front of him!

We monkey some more and must definitely head to the pool for an early swim. We were after all in a beach resort.

It was drizzling when we hit the pool but of course we swam nevertheless until such a time that the thunder started rolling.

We had wanted to go to the town and had decided to take a taxi out. The reception told us that taxi does not required booking; we could get them when we need them. However, when we were at the lobby, we were told that all the taxis were fully booked and out. What??!!! We spent a lot of time waiting and waiting for... not-sure-what. The kids entertained themselves in the not very equipped game room.

There was an xbox and Daddy Lim had to demonstrate how to play the game when we finally got a turn. Lil Isaac didn't look too happy to be watching. Lol.

My brother approached the different staff to ask for taxis several times. After about an hour, we finally got the cabs. We went to one of the big malls. The journey cost us about 17k INR, about S$17.

The 1st thing that we did was to look for lunch.  KFC was the 1st restaurant that greeted us. After q-ing, we were told that only the hot and crispy recipe was left. Bleh. We ended up with some fried chicken and fish with rice. The food was a little dry and not too enjoyable. Nevertheless, lunch settled.

I had thought that we would do shopping. However, not only our kids but also my brother's kids aren't shopping kids. So we headed to the arcade instead. In the mall, there were 2 huge arcades side by side. We spent about S$25 and had hours of fun! Back home, the same amount of money would probably last us for last than 30 mins.

The last stop was the supermarket before heading back to the hotel. The groceries were so much cheaper but we were unable to bring them back.

We had hoped to hit the beach for some fun but it was too late and the sun was setting. Sad. We headed back to the same restaurant for dinner. More pictures before food was served.

The hotel had special dinner and program in celebration of Singapore national day. We skipped it bcos it was expensive but had perfect view of the traditional dance and fireworks from the room's balcony.

Lil Shauna knocked out from the day's fun. LIL Isaac had a long nap in the afternoon but went to bed shortly after jiejie. I hope we have fantastic weather tomorrow morning so that we have some beach fun!
