Main hall of the temple.

A lot of lanterns presented by devotees giving thanks to the gods.

A pagoda at the side of the temple for devotees to burn incense papers.

1500h (BT TIME) As we did not opt for the Traditional Massage, we have some time to burn at the Batam City Square till about 1830hrs before the other tour members finish their massage. This is also one of the newer shopping malls in Batam. Prices here are not really that cheap and in most shops, they accept SGD, except the supermarket.

Here we are enjoying ice-cream and some food at the mall. Nothing to shout about though. Still prefer our local Swensons...haha..

1800h (BT TIME) At last, back at Batam Center Ferry Terminal for our 1820hrs boat back to Singapore.

This was really quite a last minute booking to Batam as we were thinking of going Batam after our Chiangmai trip two months back. Booked on 7 November midnight over the net at MISA Travel and off we were on 9 November 2007. Can't say that we did not enjoy the trip. The only reason which we might come back again would be more for the sea sports and go-karts. Stay tuned for my next trip...still considering where to go though...
