Grabbing my bags at the house a few hours later, Pak Putu gave me a lift back to the airport. I’m not sure how many hours of sitting on the back of a scooter my back-side can stand, but it was put to the test today (= it was a fun stop-over though. I feel lucky to have been able to visit them twice this month!
All that rushing to get back to the airport was somewhat disappointing as I was informed my flight had just been delayed 3 hours. =/ Batavia Air… par for the course.
Maman would be proud of me though,,, I usually carry a book these days. (good example mom!) ha ha (=
I finished: Muslim-Christian relations in the New Order Indonesia. Good read! I recommend it for anyone interested in learning about a hotly manipulated subject (= The author (Fatimah Husein) is lecturer at the State Islamic University in Yogya, and Head of Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Program for grad students. I learned a lot.
Indeed, my 8pm arrival in Manado occurred a touch closer to the midnight hour than originally planned- but not to worry, I called ahead, and my $10 bed at Manado Plaza Hotel was waiting for me. (=
