My December Holidays

During my December holidays, I went to Bintan Island, Indonesia. I travelled there by ferry. The ferry journey was short and fun . The waves was not rough and choppy. when I arrived, it was only 9:15 a.m. I did not eat anything since waking up. When I reached my hotel, I was amazed by the scenery and the marvellous pool overlooking the sea.







In the evening, when it was low tide, we went to the rock pools to explore and look for living organisms. We were facinated with all the living things we saw. We spotted two pairs of fishes swimming vertically, many tiny fishes, a butterfly fish, a large prawn which was camouflaged in between the seaweed, a blue crab and even a baby octopus!!






The next day, after my sumptuous breakfast, I swam in the pool. There was a jacuzzi,a pool bar and a perfect spot to play water polo. I enjoyed the jacuzzi and went to the beach. I dug a hole as deep as my hip level while my brother built a pyramid.
For the next two days, the weather was bad.It was raining and the wind was blowing strongly. We played in the pool instead of the beach in case we caught a cold.
When I returned home, I felt very relax and a deep sense of satisfaction. I really enjoyed myself a great deal at Bintan. I wish I could go there again. However, I wish the means of transport to the island would be a better one.
