Harris Batam Weekend (Jan 2014)

---

Saturday, 4th January 2014

In celebration of H's liberalisation from his job, he got a room at Harris Batam Centre during the first weekend of 2014. So I volunteered to get hold of the ferry tickets for our 10.20am voyage to the island of Batam. Harris was a familiar hotel which I had stayed over for two earlier occasions.

Nothing much had deviated from my past experiences even though the room check-in was available only after 2.30pm. Well, since H had scored such a nice deal from agoda, we were not really complaining. Black Canyon remained our favourite restaurant as we had our lunch during our first day and brunch on the next day. The 110,000 Rupiah breakfast at the hotel certainly did not appeal to us.

I had a great stay over the weekend to catch up on my sleep. Even though not fully rested from the tired work week, it was still a nice breakaway. Nice pool, nice room, nice food as well as the nice company to start off my travel resolution for the new year.
