5 Oct, 1115 hours: Lion Air flight from Jakarta to Singapore, Rp 499,000. Took the MRT from Changi Airport Singapore to Harbour Bay ferry terminal (costs 2 Singapore Dollar). Took the ferry WaveMaster to Batam island, around 45 minutes. Price: S$ 42 one-way. Paid Visa On Arrival valid for 30 days, US$25. Checked in at Hotel Hallo Batam for 2 nights. Rp 135,000 per night.

    Jeg trodde du skulle til Singapore for å få visum i tilsutning til at jeg kommer til Jakarta i neste uke. Men regner fortsatt med at du er på flyplassen når jeg ankommer fra Frankfurt.
