A quiet day today. Breakfast is a chicken porridge from the street. Nice. No real plan today, other than to go to the movies to catch the latest offering from Marvel Comics. My friend is worried that the cinema will be packed out because the film has only recently arrived here and demand will be high. But he has a plan. We choose a session when the churches of Manado have their many followers locked up in prayer and psalms. My friend is Muslim and he says he does this often. It’s a quiet time when the churches are busy. The movie was entertaining. These films are pure escapism but that doesn’t mean you can disengage your brain completely. It’s a challenge to keep up with the goings-on. Captain Marvel is the name. Strange name for a female superhero. Anyway I’m sure we will be seeing more of her in the future.
I farewell my friend and thank him for a fabulous weekend. I’m not feeling the best. I have a cough and feel a bit weak. I hope this doesn’t get worse. I sleep for the rest of the day in preparation for my flight tomorrow.
My plan for after Manado was either Ambon or Sumatra but domestic flights to either place, just for a quick visit, are expensive. I decide to go back to Bali.
