[status] It's a treat to be at Nongsa Point Marina. Several of our friends (but only a fraction of the rally group, a manageable number!) are here with us and we are enjoying shore power, delicious cuisine at the resort/marina restaurant, showers with unlimited water and quiet evenings as we prepare to say goodbye to Indonesia. The marina will handle our exit procedures for a modest fee and all we need to do is hand them passports, crew list and the document received when we cleared into Indonesia at Kupang, gee was it three months ago?

We've only stayed four nights at Nongsa Point, Batam, but Singapore, currently shrouded in mists to the north, is so close and so enticing! And, of course, we passed up the opportunity to extend for another 30 days in Indonesia, so must make ourselves scarce by the 25th October. That's OK. As the stay here dwindles from days to hours to minutes, our sights set upon Singapore, and Malaysia and even Thailand... and the itch to move on becomes irresistible. New countries, new weather patterns, even new seasons! The excitement continues. We are healthy, happy, deeply grateful... thank you Indonesia. And ready for new adventures! Posted by Bev.
