MONDAY 15 SEPTEMBER

I’m flying out for Manado in the far north of Sulawesi tonight so it’s an easy day packing and visiting the beach at Kuta one last time. My friend Ade has been taking me to the same spot on the beach where a friend of his manages the drink station and chairs.

To fly to Manado from Bali is easy with several Indonesian airlines providing the opportunity. I got a good deal with Lion Air. They are a discount airline but regularly don’t run on time. Tonight is no different. It’s a 3-hour flight because we stop over in Makasar in southern Sulawesi. The delayed flight gets me to Manado at 11pm. Then it’s a 30 minute trip to my hotel. I’m staying at the Rockrand Hotel reasonably close to the city.
