Full Body Massage and More at The Spa of View Park Hotel

I have no qualms driving for my family whether on a travel, going to school or any events. But I gotta admit man, it is tiring to drive especially if it involves going from West, South, back to West then North then South again. Well, that was my family itinerary for the month of April.

Thank heavens massage and spa were invented to sooth a tired body. Joy and I headed at The Spa of View Park Hotel in Tagaytay for a whole body massage, a facial mask and a cup of tea.

Indonesia 5 Hour Stay

Indonesia was not in my plan when I booked Singapore and Kuala Lumpur flight in the Travel Fair. My kumareng Juliet, Vanj and Honey though recommended we visit the place since it's just an hour away (via ferry)  in Singapore.

Thru the help of Pareng Rey, we were able to book online for the ferry ride.  Our departure time from Singapore was 12:30pm and 7pm return from Indonesia to Singapore.

We were hoping to see some beaches and mosques in Batam, Indonesia unfortunately the taxi driver said it's far and the traffic is terrible that we might miss our ride back to Singapore. The only attraction we saw was Barelang Bridge.  The Philippines has more and better bridges but this Bridge is important to Indonesians because it is a chain of 6 bridges of various types that connect the islands of Batam, Rempang, and Galang, Riau Islands built in 1997. Barelang also refers to the islands themselves, which are all administratively part of the municipality of Batam. The smaller islands of Tonton, Nipah, and Setotok (considered parts of the Batam island group) connect Batam and Rempang. The entire Barelang region covers 715 km.

We only stayed in Barelang Bridge for 5 minutes. Drove 45 minutes to the nearest Nagoya Mall, where we spent most of our time shopping for pasalubong.

Do I recommend this place? I say no if you will be there for just a day or 5 hours just like we did. We find DIY-ing trip at Batam, Indonesia difficult because we actually didn't know what to do there. We also had difficulty talkin to the taxi drive/tour guide because he knows "small English only".

I've talked to some of the fellow Filipinos who joined the group tour, they did not enjoy the tour as they were mostly brought in shopping malls. On the other hand, my friends Juliet, Vanj and Honey recommends staying in one of the hotels for a day or two.

I believe there's plenty of things to discover in Indonesia given ample time and a good tour guide. We missed eating theirlocal food instead opted for Wendy's, J.Co and Baskin Robbins.

There are numerous ferry crossings operating from Singapore to Batam via Harbourfront. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour from SG to Batam, Indonesia.

Kuala Lumpur in 5 Hours

Our trip to Petronas Twin Towers was cut short because we enjoyed Legoland and stayed longer than what we planned. Our online booking also had some problems. We were supposed to leave Legoland by 12nn but the bus we booked picked us at 6pm. 

At the bus, we also had problems with seating arrangements. We arrived very early and was able to seat in front but we were told to seat at the back. Good thing there was a Malaysian who can speak English well. He assisted us and was given a better seat.

My husband and Jesu Dasan had conversations all throughout the bus ride. When Jesu learned we were just there to see Petronas he was kind enough to offer us a ride to his van. It was a 45 minute drive from the bus station to Petronas. Jesu didn't asked for a single ringgit. God is great by sending us Jesu. If not for him we would have gone straight to the airport and missed Petronas Twin Towers.

We arrived in Petronas at almost 1 in the morning.  Good thing the guards allowed us to take some photos and quick videos for this vlog even if the towers is closed by 11pm.

If you plan to tour Petronas Twin Towers and the nearby tourist spots, I suggest you hire a tour guide so you can visit as many places as possible in one day.

Soaring to a height of 451.9 metres, the 88-storey twin structure is Kuala Lumpur's crown jewel. Majestic by day and dazzling at night, the PETRONAS Twin Towers is inspired by Tun Mahathir Mohamad's vision for Malaysia to be a global player. Together with master architect Cesar Pelli, the international icon powerfully captures the nation's ambitions and aspirations.

“ As an internationally recognized landmark, 

the PETRONAS Twin Towers symbolize the courage, ingenuity, 

initiative, and determination, energy, confidence, optimism, 

advancement and zest of a nation. ”

- Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad
