Couple of days in Batam

Got three days off "work" so went to Batam for a short break.  It is a small Indonesian island just an hour ferry ride from Singapore's harbour front.  Not much there really but it was nice to back in Indonesia. The food was really cheap and very good, was able to get some sun and do a bit of swimming just out of town, and then I smuggled some cheap cigarettes back into Singapore

Nice modern ferry, but you can't sit out on deck

Inside it is like a modern bus

I spent a lot of time in the mall...sounds boring but Asian malls are fun to explore
