The previous day when we arrived in Tanjung Pinang, we negotiated with a local guide who spoke English to take us around for a visit through the region. His friend happened to be a cab driver and was thrown in as part of the bargain. After breakfast we found our guide and driver waiting for us outside. This taxi felt vaguely like the louages that I rode in across Tunisia.
A fishing boat motors past the overlook at the strange Hollywood-esque sign proclaiming our location to be Tanjung Pinang.
Steph walking behind the sign.
Another boat motors in the other direction.
Yet another boat going in yet another direction. I can’t imagine that these boats are particularly water-tight.
Welcome to fabulous Tanjung Pinang!
Our guide took a photo of Steph and me together at the overlook. You can’t tell it from this photo but it was already pretty hot and muggy. We still had several hours to go before lunch!
