I got onto a ferry and headed to Batam with a couple of my friends over the weekend, where we frolicked around the island, consuming copious amounts of seafood and beer.
Thanks Pat for being such a wonderful host and showing us a good time :-)

Here, I'm holding up not one, but TWO boxes of Martabak Manis - a kind of thick pancake that's stuffed and eaten as dessert. My Indonesian friends have been raving about this for awhile, so I was pretty stoked to try it for the first time. It comes in two variations: one with chocolate and shaved cheese, and the other with chocolate filling.
We stayed at Patrick's place, which was bloody enormous. Here's a statue of Virgin Mary in the garden:
Here's Eve, looking resplendent in the morning sunlight <3
The feast to end all feasts before it was time to leave Batam :-)
Always a great time with these guys!
