Humid: It's Friday morning in Surabaya - pretty humid for me. But we leave for Kalimantan (southern part of Borneo) this afternoon, which will be even closer to the equator.
Our flights and layover were long, but we were grateful to shower and sleep in a bed last night. Our room is air conditioned, so while we're in there, it doesn't feel so sticky. This morning, when we stepped out of our room, I was reminded of the smell of Indonesia. It's good to be back! Then we realized it was the smell of burning trash... oh well.
Communicating: I've already been able to practice my Bahasa (Indonesian language). They can generally still understand me, and I them.
Luggage: We'll juggle luggage in about an hour. Then we'll be on our way!
Hong Kong: We did get out of the airport in Hong Kong, got a small taste of Chinese snacks and hung out at the Avenue of the Stars. The only 2 names we could put a face to were Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. We took a ferry back and made it through the train station. Success. Had fresh dumplings and wonton noodle soup. Delicious!
Safe and sound.
