Cache #2 of the "Rest" caches. One of my regular trips to this increasingly intriguing place. Much to explore & of course cache-planting!
When I first heard we were heading to "Nagoya", I immediately thought about Japan! However, this Nagoya is actually in Batam, Indonesia. Nagoya was formerly known as 'Lubuk Baja' which means 'Pirates Waterhole'! This main town of Batam has a good night life of restaurants, bars and massage centres.
The cache is at the end of a nicely constructed path linking Nagoya Hill Shopping Area & i-Hotel Batam. Short path. but leisurely & relaxing. In fact, this path is also a great place to take sunrise / sunset photos.
** Be very careful not to step into a steep drop on the right, also potholes along the bamboo bunches.
