The short breather - early July

GUESS WHERE..... ?





Yes! I need a break! Busy June and coming busy months - the tot of it is already breaking me.
.
I have to break those tots before it gotta break me.
.
Here we are went for the shortest distance break. Its my first time to Batam. The recommended place in BATAM! HARRIS RESORT BATAM.
.
No kidding but it is really my 1st time to batam, thou i have went to Bintan couples of time. The ferry journey is about the same - 50mins.



.
Took morning ferry and look at my puffy eyes.....my face havent woke up for the fun thou my heart is more ready ahha.
.
See keppel bay from far.....beautiful isnt it? Prive always happened at night i didnt have chance to see it in day.


.
HERE WE ARE!!

PRETTY....



.
LET ME BRING U ALL FOR A SHORT TOUR at the Cabana units...

The 'open' concept washroom is really a highlight and fun idea. U could even suntan when dipping in the tub.
My fair galfrens gotta love this!



OKOK we will do this later.....settle our late lunchie first at the Batam center and while took like 45 min to reach there by car. :(
.
Caught this KFC imitation - "BFC" ahhaaa Best fried chicken any1 ?? :p


AFTER the long draggy journey back again, was feeling sleepy but I am glad we are in time to see the sunset welcome us! That is when we checked out this alittle run down river? swamp? juz right at our doorstep / balcony.


LOVELY sunset - isnt it!
It is time for dinner then after all the running around the swamp haha... The pizza at Harris is gd!

.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.
NXT DAY ~~GET READY FOR SOME SUN !
.



After a short tour around Harris - waste no time and off to the pool.
.

ONLY my songs, the breeze and the fun laughters..... as usual the sun is too strong for me....i prefer to be in the shade reading my book and looking around with mp3 while the others dip in the sunny rays.


Then we all decided to get alittle wet....well i really cant stand the temptation of swimming haha.
For those we dont know, i used to be a diligent swimmer like 3 times weekly at least....
But when i get older i learn to treasure my skin haha....
Anyway....its a cool great dip...got to swim a few short laps.


Thus i looked damn pale after the dip...but well wooo so long since i last swam.
.
Then we dry ourselves alittle and got ready for our SPA! The highlight of the breather, YES!
It is lovely.....i already feel so eager when i walked into this place.

3 hours of spa felt so damn fast....
The therapist allowed us to walk around immediately after some good tippings. Yea..

.
Oh i duno why the spa got me hungry so soon....or isnt the swim? haha i simply love to eat lately. Not a gd sign thou. Happier could means fatter lor.
.
Pizza is a must + some chicken wings and the cold dish - some scallops dish. Oh well we packed back to eat in the room since there was a really loud band at the restaurant which we totally dont fancy.
.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
3rd Day & the Last.
.

Beaching again but no swim since we gotta get ready quickly for the departure ferry later on.
.
Lucky we never dip cos the heavy rain came later to visit the last day.

No matter what - we still gotta head out in the rain....


There the short breather juz breath thru short and sweet.
.
Well Harris could be a good place nearby however it is not cheap at all especially the food at the resort. Of cos Bintan is still a more ex place.
.
Mmm i will keep my options for the other places yet to visit like Krabi in Thailand etc unless gtg for some golfs especially with Caddies at Batam - i guess could be more worth.
.
Just another option for all who havent visited there yet. Ciao!
