E-tickets arent always e-tickets

After a lovely evening visiting the Marina Bay Sands Hotel with German girls and a late dinner on boat quay with Historei, I decided was about time to read my ferry ticket info to Bintan, an island off Singapore, which isnt actually apart of Singapore, but Indonesia ... therefore the ferry has some very strict policies!

To my surprise my e-ticket isnt in fact an e-ticket but must be printed, which is a fact that sent me into a bit of a tissy as it is now 12.30 the night before an 8am ferry to Bintan and our top class hostel has no staff after 10pm to print my tickets.

We had a hotel across the Bay in mind but tried a few pubs beforehand only to receive bewildered looks at why two girls are out begging for a printer at 1am. We marched up through the Fullerton Hotel doors trying to look as if we belonged in Elephant backpacker pants and found our Angel Gabriel (no really that was the receptionist name) behind the reception desk who graciously printed the tickets.
