... experience for the kids. I would recommend this to anyone! Hectares of land and rainforest aviaries, bird spotting within a metre of you no matter where you walked.
I might go back I enjoyed it so much!!

We left feeling pretty tired, as both parks were huge, and the way around it all, was on foot.
We went to Galleria next, which is a huge mall in Nusa Dua area. It is pretty upmarket, so most things were only for looking at ...

... them have tin roofs now but originally the roofs were made of bamboo. Across of the house a smaller version of a Tongkonan is built that serves as a rice barn, In front of some of the houses there are big rows of buffalo horns hanging. This shows how many buffaloes they sacrificed for a funeral. All in all we got a real good impression of how village life is here in the Tana Toraja region. After a day of rest we went back to Makassar to get to our next destination, Bali.

... open and basically all they had were fried rice or noodles (several different styles), but at least they served beer. We spent only one hour on the island as it was totally not worth any more time and headed back. The sunset was nice though, probably the only thing about the whole island.

... occurred on the norther coast. Its still a land of impenetrable jungles, 16,000 foot mountains, and traditional tribes. Travel is almost exclusively by air since there aren't any roads.

So tomorrow I fly to Jayapura which is a city in Papua, Indonesia then travel to Vanimo in Papua New Guinea hopefully get a new visa and then return to Jayapura where I plan to catch a flight ...

... to sing Bengawan Solo (a very old but well-known Indonesian song) and made a total mess of it, as I hadn't sung it since last year. I started off okay, totally forgot the words about halfway through, and remembered the last few lines for a dramatic finish. The audience were appreciative but I would have preferred to have had time to remind myself of the words, or even written them out in advance. The reactions of other passengers were interesting when we ...

... di kompleks Hertasning, tapi kalo mau ke greja hrs menempuh jarak 10 KM di daerah Tana Toraja (khas dgn tradisi suku bugis).Makanan khas makassar (yg kebetulan jg jadi mkn fave-ku slama merantau) adalah COTO Makassar.
