Rejuvenation of the Mind and Soul

Indra Maya
01-03 June 2008

We are back from our short vacation at the Indra Maya on Bintan Island. A much needed break, where we were able to bond as a family, and enjoy the luxury of 2 nights stay in a bungalow perched on a hilltop, overlooking the sea. We had the opportunity to feel the seabreeze in our face, and bask in the morning sun while we enjoy our own private pool.

The villa we were staying



Doorway to luxury. The other side of the villa overlooks the sea.
Breathtaking view of the sea, with trees providing shade from the afternoon sun.





The swimming pool within our villa, with trees providing some privacy from peering human eyes, but not from peeping squirrels and iguanas

We were so close to nature, that we had the chance to enjoy the silence of the night while listening to the chriping of the crickets. It was so nice being away from the traffic noise and distraction of modern technology. We had squirrels so close to our doorsteps, and even an iguana visiting our backyard. Time is such a luxury on our holiday, where we even had the chance to watch the stars, and enjoy the wonders of God's creation. And with no distraction from the PC and internet, I had every opportunity to bask in this luxury.





Look what we found in our backyard!!!!






This is my 3 year old nephew Ryan who was part of our entourage. He brought us so much joy during our trip. He helped us see one of God's wonderous creations, when he burst into the villa one night, squealling with such great delight and excitment at the sparkling stars in the night sky. He was so in awe with the beauty of the twinkling stars in the velvet black sky, that we too were drawn to sit down, and looking up into the sky, enjoy the spectacle.
Such is the luxury of time, and the appreciation of little things through the eyes of a 3 year old
