It all started when I realized that I could pretend that Friday (Sep 26) was actually Hari Raya (Oct 1) and then pretend that Oct 1 was a work day. So off I went for a snorkel and spider weekent.
Here is the usual trip: MRT to Tanah Merah, Bus 35 to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, Penguin Falcon 3 to Tanjung Pinang and Bintan Agro Beach Staff to my weekend escape
Along the way I took some photos with the GPS connected. I was able to plot these with Google maps to see exactly where the photos were taken. A sailboat
Nets hanging at a kelong
A small village
Some sort of resort area I think
A passing ferry
Another passing ferry
Towing a load of sand, but not to Singapore
Two fishermen - looks like one is repairing the net
