From Singkep to Penuba (Pulau Selayar)
Exhausted from those killer hills between Sungaibuluh and Jago in Pulau Singkep, I decided to call it a day and took a pompom to Penuba (Pulau Selayar).
Sadly the ride across the strait is only about 15 minutes. Laying down with tired muscles on the bottom of the pompom watching Penuba approaching against the backdrop of Gunung Daik bathed in late afternoon ligth was pure bliss and is now one of those memories I know I will never forget.
Pualu Selayar is a very relaxing small island sandwiched between Pulau Singkep and Pulau Lingga. There are no cars - and no paved roads - in the island. There also few ojeks. Everybody seems happy to just walk or take a boat to wherever they have to go, but most people seem to be happy to just sit and chat with friends and do nothing. Great Place!
I managed to find three main kampungs in the island: Penuba, Tanjung Dua and one more small kampung whose name I don' t remember.

The two guys below asked me if I wanted to go back to Bintan in this boat with them. I would have been fine normally but that weekend I was on my second attempt to quit smoking and I knew I would not have lasted 1 hour without smoking in their company...and they told me the trip back to Bintan was 24 hours.
