uwo Says: Love the setting and colours of the sunset whilst enjoying a cool drink. When the night appears with the twinkling stars shinning on the wide sea... its so romantic. Optional, however, dont forget a jacket, cause the wind is blowing and it gets chilly, barefoot to the beach...
mansionion Says: I took Garuda Airlines from Padang to Pekanbaru (transit) before continuing my journey to Singapore. Overall, I am satisfied with the flight - no delay and good in flight service. Highly recommend Garuda Airlines to others.
traps Says: I have never experience true hospitality from the heart before until I visited this area of Indonesia. This is a place where I would go back for more great hospitality. The locals are extremely friendly and they are very willing to help one another.
traps Says: You may also wanna get dirty and head on down to the jungle. 3-hr trek to the Air Mertua Waterfall. A really good experience! Breathtaking waterfall I must say.
