Picnic(ing) in Batam Beaches/Bay - Pantai Cakang
=====================================
The drive wasn't as long as felt - bcs I was excited. We drove along the road thru the bridges.
Imagine driving on such a main road; no turns, no detours.... and then see this :
End of the "highway" road
It was breathtaking to see the ocean from the parking lot.
Grabbed mobile :
Right at the southern most tip
The only entrance down to the picnic/bay area :
More people than at Sembulang beach but still nonetheless not crowded.
The smell of the ocean.... the relaxed environment... the strong ocean breeze...
We had our picnic here as well, and (thank goodness for the only stall looool) had coffee, teh-o-beng/panas, etc.
Watched the sunset (no photo - camera phone not good at taking sunsets), and then packed up and drove back.
The drive, this time felt loooooooong. It took about 50mins @ average 85 km/h (very little traffic) to reach the first bridge - an indication of the distance. The entire journey, in-total, took out 3 bars of the fuel tank of a 1.5L car.
For sharing.
