Breakfast is from 7:00AM (BT) to 10:00AM (BT). We were all too tired to wake up and decided to skip the buffet breakfast.
We arranged to meet at 10:30AM (BT) to take a walk around Turi Beach Resort. Before that, we must settle our hungry stomach. Let’s dig into our J.Co Donuts. Yummy!!!
JR called the front desk at Turi Resort to request for late check out. Turi extended our rooms by 2 hours to 02:00PM (BT).

Check out 🙁
Time: 02:00PM (BT)
It was time for us to leave Turi Beach Resort. So sad…
JR found miscalculation in the bill! We were charged twice on the room upgrade (S$15x 2 rooms x 2 nights) = S$60. It took the receptionist quite some time to see the error. He corrected the bill and gave us a new invoice. We spent so much time during the check out.
We asked for a cab to drive us to somewhere for lunch. There wasn’t much time for us to go to town hence we chose somewhere near – Batu Besar Seafood Restaurant.

We didn’t have enough Rupiah for the meal and offered to pay the outstanding amount in Singapore Dollars. The lady boss was very kind and gave us a discount. She did not take our Singapore Dollars and accepted whatever Rupiah that we had left. Cost = IDR317.1K (S$47.33) for 4.

Goodbye Turi!
This is what we saw when we arrived at Nongsa Ferry Terminal. Why didn’t we see it when we arrived in Batam? We had been searching for it!
JR & I bought a classic-fit Polo each Cost = IDR750K (S$114.17) for 2. Yusin got a classic-fit Polo Match also.
Passengers started were already boarding the ferry when we arrived. We were late but just in time to catch the ferry. we boarded the ferry at 06:15PM (BT) and were back in Singapore at 08:40PM (ST)! We shared a taxi back home. What a tiring day. Back to our working routine the next day. Cost = S$12.20 for 4.
