Part 2 - Kelong kawal trip
Okay really busy since i was back from my trip over to bintan island. Okay will try to make it short and err sweet (cross my fingers)
This trip initiated by my friend dennis and his ex uni classmates. We planned for a 3 days and 2 nite get away from hectic singapore city life. I guess i need a break too , u can see that i have been goin on business trip regular..( not to enjoy of coz) . So this is my opportunity that i can't miss out..
So i left on the day of deepavali holiday. Meet up at tanah merah ferry terminal .. as usual our man was there to pass us the tickets . The journey takes us about 3 hours including transfer by bus from tanjung pinang ferry terminal to this place at kawal.. the east coast of bintang. The view there is breath taking when we first step out of the vehicle . But the journey is not over yet..we still have to walk about a km on the rickety wooden bridge to the kelong.
Once inside we were ushered in for lunch. We aren't alone here.. there are about 4 other groups of tourist/backpackers . Well food was great.. if you are a seafood lover , crab , fish , shellfish are the everyday delights. 5 meals aday yes five meals , breakfast, lunch, teabreak, dinner, supper are all included. As for activities , there are plenty from airgun, darts , chess, pool, mahjongs, karaoke(hey i can sing ) to outdoorsy type like fishing, snorkeling, banana boat, canoeing and other sea sport stuff. And best of all u don't have to pay for all these unlike other operator.
There are two island abt 15- 20 mins away from the kelong. So we ask the skipper to bring us there. Nikol island which has its beautiful corals and fishes that was very enchanting. The other island which i have no clue what it is called is more sea grass cluttered. You can find odd stuff like octopus , starfish and assortment of shell fish.
One memorable experience is how we caught 4 sotong (squid) within a short span of 30 mins. Seems like the squids are on a rescue mission ..to rescue their comrad.. hahaha...but alas we have the whole sotong clan in our hands..
Its been enjoyable and hopeful we will return again.. with better fishing tackles and baits..
Air gun ... fun but tiring coz you need to pump the gun before you can fire off a volley.
