Couples Retreat Bintan- Part 2

This was one of those trips, that even though it was only 2 days long, and a few things didn't go as planned, it was so much fun! While the girls were off golfing 27 holes, and drinking a prolific amount of beer, the girls were spending a leisurely afternoon at the Nirwana resort....
J. enjoying a post massage cup of tea. Such a relaxing afternoon! 

While we all had a great time on the SUNNY tropical island, some of us had a bit too much sun....
Ouch M.! Ouch!!!!  This is what two hours in direct sunlight will to do you....
In a close second place for the "really should have used sunscreen" award- Dave and his visor tan. 
When asked why he didn't use the sunscreen that I had thoughtfully provided him right before he left for golf, he said he "didn't want to get his hands greasy"... logical. Greasy hands < Massive sunburn
Impromptu drinking and dance party in a hotel room. Oh man, doesn't take much for us to have a good time.
We eventually made it to dinner at a Chinese restaurant.... after Dave spilled soy sauce all over B. and the boys realized they were too exhausted to even finish 2 pitchers of beer, we called it a night and headed home.  
 

We LOVE Bintan! =) Wild night out on the town or emotion themed photo shoot? You decide? 
Day 2, after a lovely sleep in- I headed out to the driving range to make my coach proud and get in some practice. Let's just say I am not the next Tiger Woods, but it was nice to be outside getting some fresh air, and I think I am making some decent progress on my swing! 

Well Ria Bintan- the boys may have loved your courses and especially your mens locker room, the girls give you one thumbs down- because really- why would an island resort not have a swimming pool! Sigh. 

While the boys were off golfing again the 2nd day, the girls (minus our sunburn victim M.) headed out to check out another resort for some yummy lunch and a walk on the beach at Bintan Laguna.  
So pretty- next time we should stay here!!!! 
We lucked out for weather- it couldn't have been any prettier and sunnier.
 A nice change from the recently rainy weather in the Sing! 

Check out the cool Koi in the hotel lobby! I am like a child when it comes to gold fish- just love them!


Our final activity in Bintan- a wild game of spoons. I am proud to announce that despite it being my first spoons experience, I managed to make the final 4, before being dominated by the 3 true spoons experts. 

It was a FABULOUS weekend. Couples Retreat = success. 

We owe a big thanks to our friend D. (and J.) for planning the trip and organizing....we had a blast... looking forward to doing it again next month!
