WAINGAPU
We stayed at Waingapu three times during our Sumba trip. Car travelling tended to be better than the truck/buses but it was still tiring because of the roads and the time it took between destinations.
8 AUGUST
We arrived in Waingapu from Tarinbang two
hours later. Marthen drove a little wildly and the roads were narrow and windy
but we made it safe and sound after dropping Peter off at the domestic airport.
We settled into a nice
clean room at the Tanto Hotel and spent the afternoon catching up on internet
and messenger.
When it cooled down we
wandered into the town and found a supermarket where we bought up on supplies
for Kelala.
We had dinner then an
aircon sleep.
9 AUGUST
I woke early and caught up
with some internet. When Jacinta awoke we had breakfast – Indonesian style and
packed our gear for Kelala, the next leg of our journey.
We still had a bit of time
before leaving so I went for a walk through town to find Venny’s Bakery. It was
a cool walk – saying hello to a few people, checking out the churches and
buildings and having a longer conversation with an Indonesian man who had hair
the same colour as mine.
Back at the hotel, We did
our final pack and boarded our car for Kelala.
