Air Panas (Hot water spring)
While in Dabo Singkep somebody recommended me to go to Air Panas...the local hot water spring. The spring is in the middle of Pulau Singkep. I got lost a few times before managing to find the beginning of the mud road (must ask for the power station!). From the beginning of the side road it must be over 15Kms of dirts roads over wooden bridges and across forests and rubber tree plantations. Met a couple of the usual kids (13 years old?) carrying rifles on the way...always freaks me out a little bit...
The spring itself is not that nice. Just a 3 big concrete pools of very (burning) hot water, but the road to get there is a nice detour, with extra excitement if you are not really sure where you are going.

The best bridge in Pualu Singkep. Cross it at top spead to lighten the bike load!
