Rest & Relax At Batam

It was a spur of the moment when we suggested visiting Batam for massage and shopping during office hour and we ended up booking ourselves ferry tickets and massage appointments.

We confirmed the dates almost immediately and went online to book the massage and ferry tickets pretty quickly to avoid disappointment. J We were all excited about this virgin trip to Batam as a group and man… there were so many discussions and planning….

After meeting up with the girls who had their breakfast at Hans’, we headed to the ferry boarding area and bought some bread to munch in case we got hungry onboard. J
The boat ride was great fun as we were enjoying chatting and watching silly movies onboard while some doze off half way. I was mostly awake and pampering myself with snacks so that I will not feel nausea. J
When we arrived at Batam Centre after 55 minutes of ferry ride, we were quite upset that our driver from Spa Central was late to pick us up and that delayed our treatment and our plans. She finally turned up after about 20 minutes late and told us that there were road blockages due to riot.

Spa Central was about 15 minutes from Batam Centre and the spa was very cozy and clean. We started our treatments almost immediately as we were rushing for time to shop. The massage was great but I was disappointed that I did not get my cream bath this time due to time constrained.
We headed down to Nagoya Town shopping mall to do some shopping at the supermarket and then went crazy over the lapis. We bought so much that we did not even realized. After a very quick shopping, we went to have our early dinner at Golden Prawn 933 which is pretty popular among tourists. The seafood there was good and very cheap compared to the price in SIN.

 
We headed back to the Batam Center to catch our ferry back to Singapore and we simply had an enjoyable time with the girls and I am sure we will be back again!
