First, my favorite quote of of the trip, perhaps. We went birding along Makbon Rd near Sorong one afternoon. It was not very birdy and it was hot. Chris said, “it’s so quiet and peaceful here.” I replied “Yes, except for the chainsaws” which were in the distance in a low tone that Chris can’t hear.
We did see a few birds, including a Brahminy Kite.
Lion Air allows you to check in 11 hours and 45 minutes before your flight. That’s when seat assignment is done. That’s also when people normally are sleeping for an 11:50 flight but we wanted to make sure we were seated together, so we set an alarm for midnight.
Another amusing thing about the hotel is they have this lovely seating area which looks like you can just relax and put your feet up. However, they have a sign that says don’t put your feet up and I actually saw hotel employees telling people to put their feet down. What l looks like a foot rest is actually a stool at the table
Mike has decided on a different packing strategy this trip. Chris is a very organized cube person. Mike finds it frustrating to go through four cubes to get dressed every day. Mike’s strategy consists mainly of small plastic bags with underwear, socks, and a t-shirt— one for each day and then a cube for the rest. This is especially useful if you’re only spending a day or two in a hotel.
