This was an eye opener. It has been a long time since i’ve visited Indonesia and it is my first to Batam. Many have told tales that Batam has great seafood, attractive resorts, cheap shopping and more. Well, i didn’t shop much and the seafood dinner was pretty average i must say. But the company was fabulous. A holiday is nothing if you don’t have good company.

In the ferry going to Batam Island
Trip was nauseating but met a long time friend on the ferry.

Break with Teh Sosro. Probably the best bottled tea in the world!!! Heaven!!

Nasi Ayam Penyet... Indo style... The chicken portion is so small!!!

The seafood dinner.... size of the prawns was about the size of my pinkie

Our short term crib - Holiday Inn Batam Resort
As you can see already, the trip evolved predominantly around the food theme, which explained my explosive in gain weight back from this trip.
But it was priceless…
