2D1N Bintan: "Pondok" @ Mutiara Beach Guesthouse
Date: 17&18/03/2012
Pondok was basic but very clean and spacious! Complete with ceiling fan, mosquito nets and coils, candles and 4 mattresses. Toilets/bathrooms-are located away from the huts in typical "kampong" (ie, village) style.
Mutiara provides what we need and the perfect environment for a real break away from modern and hurried urban life and the ideal destination to get back to basics and rediscover the joys of kampong life.
The 'Pondoks' : a simple accomodation surrounded by coconut trees and a nice white sand beach

2D1N Bintan : Arrival
Date: 17/03/2012
Bintan Island is part of the Riau Islands province of Indonesia and is located less than 40 kilometers from Singapore. We took a ferry to go there, and instead of staying at those beach resorts on the northern coast of Bintan island, we were looking for back-to-basics chill-out homestay on Bintan's east coast, in the Trikora region. With a 12-seater Travelo minibus taxi arrange by Marc (guesthouse's owner), it took us almost one hour to reach Mutiara beach guesthouse located on island's east coast.
