After another Vikki/Pallavi negotiation (which this time
involved a shot of Arak at a locals house), we arranged another car to get us to
Maumere. Our flight to Jakarta is tomorrow, so we figured we might as well
check out this time before we go. What a waste!
Maumere is not nice. We got to the hotel, found some cheap
place without a shower (bucket baths it is then!) and set on a quest for
internet. The other girls needed to figure out what they were doing next. We
walked around, asking for internet – I swear, in a town of 50,000 people, there
must be just one mythical place with internet. We never found it! Finally, we
gave up, had dinner, and went back to our place to take a shower and relax
(Vikki even gave up on asking the owners of the hotel for wifi and just sat
down and used their computers when they ran away from here).
- Problem #1: No water. Just a bucket previously filled with water. 4 people. I swear this is water conservation at its finest!
- Problem #2: Electricity is out. That means no fan! Guess its movie time!
- Problem #3: The loud guys who keep walking across our door and shouting in the middle of the night.
I cannot wait to just get to Jakarta and have clean clothes
and a hot shower but not be so hot all of the time.
