Bintan is pretty close and it has a very decent beach.
Quiet, very quiet, a bit too quiet… in fact only Italians

At our expenses. Jellyfish and sand-flies.
Still a gorgeous beach though, with white sand, crystalline water
and no screaming kids splashing around, a paradise!

of money and a chat with the airport force while chewing a chewing gum.Life in Asia continues...
