Here's a quick upload of our fabulous and VERY restful trip to ClubMed Bintan RIA. It rained the 2 out of 3 days we were there but it did not dampened our spirits and our quest for a good time! These pics are somewhat in reverse order as I can't be bothered to rearrange them.. enjoy!
This is a picture taken by Letitia. The island has a whole array of natural things which even the most innocent of eyes enjoy. Letitia told us that this is a "Man-Faced Beetle". So that was our discovery for the week.

Letitia wanted to capture these rigs as she actually went on the trapeze and loved it. The professional shots were blurr so we refuse to purchase it. We promised her she'll get another go next time we visit another ClubMed. What a brave cookie! She also tried out Archery shooting real arrows and bow. As adults, we found that we enjoyed Archery tremendously too!
Little Miss Mathena did not miss out on the Circus fun! She had a ball trying the tight rope and reported that it as "very easy". She was all strapped up in safety gear and walking with bare feet.
Okay, the highlight was the NON-Stop food. Great variety, very Ang-mo in flavour as well as KID-friendly (sausages every meal?!) By the 3rd day, it quickly became quite a strain to face the food..... but I do miss it now that, I am home!
The GOs (The Initials G.O stand for Gentil Organisateur which comes from the French meaning friendly host) holds a lively and energetic concert EVERY night with very different themes and programmes. Quite entertaining and the circus team does wonders in showing my girls dancing grace and moves! You can just imagine both Mathena and Letitia open mouthed at all the moves.
One thing we fully appreciate is that the girls get their own beds in an adjoining room. We pay per person. They felt special and loved the 'girls room'. Slept like babies as of course they were exhausted by the end of the day.
The main building with the extended pool area. The kids club even has their own baby wading pool that is covered and protected. Excellent for families with babies!
The surrounds!
The yucky choppy ferry ride. The only lowlight...the thought of it is making my stomoach churn...yeeks!
We love the beach. It was BUCKETING rain, but we LOVE the beach!We are afterall from the coastal Wollongong, NSW!
Verdict?We will do it again and the next time for a longer period so we can make the most of the Club!
Sigh! Now, I have to go and clean up my dirty dishes...

You guys looked like you had a brilliant time at Club Med Ria Bintan. I had considered going there but ended up going to Bali with Club Med instead.
I thought that their offerings for with those with children, whatever age were brilliant and you don't have to worry about dodgy food at any of the Club Med 4 pronged villages. Did L and M join in the guest's show that the GO's do? I managed to escape that on both my Bali trips.
I would have absolutely no concerns about going on hols with Club Med once our family arrives based on previous experience.
Hope that you are all keeping well and we will let you know as soon as something happens. Due date is 19th January!!!!

Hi guys,
Happy Chinese New Year in advance. Wow, the girls look so grown up now. sigh... I say that everytime I see their pictures. Same for Liana. I can't wait to take her to dance classes too. She loves to sing & wiggle (& moves to the right rhythm too). All the best. Love, hugs & kisses
