Where is Rune?

6 October.

Return to Jakarta. We got a panic attack today when we learned that the airport has moved to the other side of Lombok, since 1 October. We learned this just as we were about to check-out from the hotel, and suddenly the time was against us. But for a relatively high price (Rp 1 million), we managed to get ourselves transported in time. The sea across to mainland Lombok was very rough, which was a bit scary in the small speed boat. A waiting car was ready on the other side.

The new airport was apparently Lombok’s biggest attraction, judging from the many onlookers crowding outside the fences.

But before any of this happened, I snorkeled for the last time, and was rewarded with a sight of a shark, estimated size 1.5 meter.

People flocking to see the new airport.

Speed boat and car from Gili Trawangan to Lombok airport. The old airport is about half-way on this track.
