Tropical Escape

23122016

We woke up finished packing and checked out of our hotel. Starting our journey to Indonesia. We took the subway to the harborfront, the same place our cruise ship dropped us off.

We had a few minutes so we got some snacks at the 7-11. We had to go through customs to get out of Singapore, the line for which was quick and easy. We made our way onto th ferry. It really was just a big boat with a bunch of seats, it had air conditioning which is really the only amenity i needed.

after about 45 minutes we arrived in Sekupang Indonesia. Right after customs we were greeted by staff from our Telunas Resort. A handful of other guests of the hotel were also arriving. I noticed that they had children, and hoped they were going to stay at the Beach Resort side of the resort, rather than the Private Island side. After all of us gathered, they piled our bags in the van, and we walked a few hundred meters to the little pier that had the longboat to get us to the islands.

They gave us our bags to carry the last bit down the pier, then we handed the bag off once again as they piled the luggage onto the longboat, we then climbed in, and it took us the 90 minutes to get to the resort area.

we climbed off the longboat, and received our welcome drink, a fruity green thing that neither of us could identify, and sat down for lunch.

The lunch was fantastic, a grilled mackerel with rice and stir fried vegetables. I was very excited about the foods we were going to be eating over these next few days.

After lunch we made our way to our private villa, which is great

We enjoyed the villa and the views until dinner time, and this meal was even better. I had a stir fried chicken with rice and vegetables, and laura had a butter lemon salmon with the same sides. My chicken was so good, I felt bad that i had that meal, and laura had to settle on the one that was also good, but not as good.

After dinner we went back to our villa to watch some of the stashed TVs we had. Unfortunately we found our tablet had been damaged.

Damnit, it survived 10 weeks of our travelling, but it gets cracked in the last 3 days, the three days that we wanted it the most.

We got through one episode of season 5 American Horror Story, and the internal hardware damage kicked in and rendered it impossible to watch the rest of them.

We were able to watch Inside Out, the pixar movie. This film turned out to be much better than we expected. Afterwards we went to sleep, enjoying the sounds of the waves and bats (the bats are cool with us, cause they eat all the flying bugs).
