Day 163 Rantepao to Makassar then Manado

Took a lovely comfortable bus back the 8hr trip to Makassar where we got dropped outside the airport, got a taxi in to it, then got a bumpy flight in a stretched 737 full with Indonesians except the exit rows which westerners occupied. Presumably because there was not a hope I would fit my legs in a normal row without putting my knees through the seat in front & I'm not tall by 'westy' standards!

We pulled up to a rather nice looking hotel in Manado prompting fears it wasn't the right one but it was and the room while not looking the same standard as the entrance it was ok with a/c & hot water! Perfect for a sleep after a long day travelling.
