Day 26: Donderdag 22 oktober 2013
Bunaken - Home

I was again awake early, with the first indent. The sun was raised. There was not much to see because it was cloudy and it was even raining lightly. I started packing my bag. At the dining room I had some coffee and tried to do some Internet, but the Wifi had problems.

After breakfast, I said goodbye to Anna, Bernhard and Manuel who went to Saliden for snorkelling and scuba diving. I paid my bill. Actually I should have not stayed in a bungalow, because I had booked a standard room, but I did not problems with the € 100 I had to pay extra, because the bungalow was quite pleasant.

While I was waitig for my transport, Terry called from Manado. He regretted the theft of his laptop, because he lost 9 years of information. He apologized for his absence and was hoping that I would come back again. After some more time doing nothing, I left around 10.15 AM by boat to Manado. Also a part of the staff went along, because there is little to do. I said goodbye to the staff that stayed and after half hour boat ride on a somewhat rough sea, we arrived in Manado, where a van was already waiting.

We drove through a busy Manado to the airport where I was at 11.30 AM. The check-in went very quickly and I still had all the time for a coffee and surfing the Internet. Around 2 PM the plane left on time and during the flight we got food, though it was the service what not well organized.

Just after 5 PM we were at Shanghi, Singapore airport. Here I had to wait 6 hours. I spent my time browsing the web, smoking, eating, walking around and doing nothing. I saw the setting down. The airport has nice decorations like a butterfly garden, aquarium with koicarpers en bird garden.

The aircraft departed just before midnight. During the flight I slept (I had 2 chairs available, which was very pleasant), watched movies and had some food and drink. After 13 hours of flight, we landed around 7 AM on Amsterdam. It was Wednesday and the weather was fine. The passport control was fast, but I had to wait long for my bag. I also felt not fine, pretty dizzy.

When I finally had my bag, I had to put through the scanner. After a quick cup of coffee, I took the train home, where a pile of post waiting for me. That had to wait a little longer, because I was mainly had dizziness and laid on the bench. I was back home and thus the holiday was over.
