August 2,2008:Another Session of Bintan Snorkel Therapy

How we got there: 7am MRT from Queenstown to Tanah Merah MRT. Then Bus 35 to TM Ferry Terminal (unbelievably crowded, bus 35). Then Penguin to Tanjung Pinang (Green trace) - the van to Bintan Agro Beach Resort. Blue is the trip to Mapur Island. Purple is the trip to hunt for Sea Horses and then White Sand island.
