We planned to meet at Haborfront Mac at 8am - waking up bright and early and kids lugging their own luggage. I am impressed that the kids were largely responsible for their luggage this trip and nagging was at the minimal for potential luggage lost.
My new sunglasses are finally put to work. Happy!
It was a mad rush upon arrival. The whole world had also chosen to go to Batam on the same day. Habourfront was mad crowded. There wasn't much time to idle after bfast and we packed off to the immigration shortly. The ferry to Batam was smooth. The 2 tiger boys posed for picture. Sorry ER, auntie did a lousy job.
The complimentary shuttle was waiting for us upon arrival. Sweet! We had a whole mini van to ourselves. The younger kids had to share seats but no sweat. We were too excited to be bothered by such small issues.
We stayed in Holiday Inn. It wasn't superbly expensive but their service was excellent! I signed up as their member while booking the rooms and they gave us 1 hr of complimentary KTV! Two of the 5 rooms were ready when we arrived and we waited in the room’s comfort before we go in search of lunch. Right after, we just had to swim; the pool was calling.
The rest of the day was spent playing in somebody’s room or basically ANYWHERE. The kids’ playground was everywhere. We utilised the 1 hour of complimentary KTV but I heard that the songs were lousy. They didn't even have Bruno Mars!
The games in the games room were all free. Lil Isaac was intrigued with the darts. Luckily nobody got killed in the process. He almost got a bull's eye!
After dinner, we gathered at Auntie J's room and the kids spent the rest of the night playing and playing.
Bedtime was super easy after a long day of immersing in the water and running and more running. I barely made it out of the showers and there was Lil Isaac, sound asleep. Lil Shauna needed little help too. Yawn..
