Saturday 17th May
The siren call of
Nongsa Point marina proved too much for us…so now we are here for two nights. We didn’t have clearance into Indonesia so we
thought we would just fly in/fly out but…
Adamanto and two government
officials stamped and cleared our papers so swiftly and pleasantly that…here we
are, on Batam Island. It just so
happened we had some Indonesian rupiah hidden away in our money-hiding places,
so we have about $130 to spend - might as well do it here!
It is all very
pretty
The pool is cool
and refreshing; the sunsets are gorgeous…we will continue on our Epic Journey
to catch up with the rally…tomorrow…
(This reminds me
of something our lovely Sam, one of the organisers of the Indonesian Rally last
year, said in a briefing session:
People sometimes
ask if there is an Indonesian equivalent of mañana…and I always tell them that
no, there is no word which conveys quite the same degree of urgency…)
