Part 2
Hotel :
I circle around lai lai and Batam star but still couldn't find sedona,i didn't give up and expand my search on a larger circle and after another 15mins finally got to Sedona. I finally know,Sedona is not opp Batam Star Hotel but it is pretty nearby,hidden away in a corner.
After confirm my ticket at Prima Ferries,the ticket counter says the Boarding time is 30 mins before my confirm time,so i still have about 30 mins plus to walk around. I walk to the 1st floor and saw a few money changer. I go ask for the best rate around and found out that this shop below gives the BEST rate :
I ask them how much,they told me 8800/SGD,i walk off. Then they call me back and as me how much i change elsewhere,i told them 8950,and they agreed.(which i found out later it's the same as changing in Batam opp Formosa) For the WORST rate in Harbour front,can go to the Departure Hall money changer,operate by 2 Malay ladies,rate at 8700/SGD.
I board the ferry,and vividly saw that the ferry name called something like Batam Fart. The boat ride was smooth sailing for the 1st 10 mins,but later saw another ferry name Wavemaster overtaking my Batam Fart ferry. Wavemaster create a lot of waves that makes my ferry become bumpy cos the captain of the ferry must cut the wave created in order not be capsized by the big wave from Wavemaster ferry. It's about another 10 mins before Batam Fart ferry re-overtake Wavemaster taking the lead again.
