Still in bed at 9am the ceiling fan suddenly quit its hum and slowed to a stop, the power was out. After breakfast we got a tuk tuk to the bank and supermarket so we were set for a week on the island. We also bought masks & snorkels.
With the laptop in tow we headed for the beach for a swim hoping one of the hundreds of hastily erected beach front cafe shacks might have a generator running & internet we badly needed to book flights. None had but I still had a swim before continuing our search.
We struggled with a tortuously slow connection at our accommodation while their generator ran for an hour, then tried another place for us only to sit down connected with a drink only to have their internet go down. So it was back to our accommodation to struggle on till the price of the flights went up! We gave up there and did find a internet cafe where we finally booked 4 flights for Indonesia at 8pm shortly after the power finally came back on.
Ended the day with a nice dinner at the Indian restaurant.
