Batam: Day 2

1 May

Palm Springs Golf & Beach Resort is beautiful but crowded on this May 1st public holiday. When we got to the club, there was a bus load of 90 people coming in to register for their games as well! Horrors!

Thankfully our flights were sorted out and we teed off on time. But we had to separate and not have 6 on the course like yesterday. The skies were looking like they were going to open up but didn’t. Today I played so much better, I must say.

The scenery at this golf club had more photographic opportunity than yesterday. Despite being so crowded, we had ample time to take pictures, silly staged ones too. The flights in front were slow and we were killing time.

After the game and a quick shower, we went for nasi padang. Very satisfying lunch. We then did some window shopping to allow the food to digest before we went for foot massages.

All in all, day two has been equally enjoyable.

Not 5.30am Like Always

1 May

I have mentioned before that 5.30am is always the time I have to wake up whenever it is a morning tee off. Well, did I wake up at 5.30am today? Not quite but I did peek at my iPhone at 3.44am, 5.38am and eventually moved at 5.51am.

Groan… The bed is too soft and the pillows were nyeh despite the hotel looking comfy and the bed inviting. Oh well. We’re on holiday and shouldn’t be complaining. Might as well get ready for breakfast because our transport will be here at seven to battle traffic to get us to Palm Springs for our 8.00am tee off.

Speaking of traffic, there’s quite a bit of cars on the island. Took us awhile from Tering Bay to get to dinner and thereafter from the restaurant to the hotel.
