Selamat Tinggal Teluk Bayur Permai...

3rd day (Sunday 8th July)

The final leg of our visit here is that afternoon. After we checked into Hotel Pengeran, Padang, and had a rest, we went out for a local sight-seeing at 5.30 pm (though I thought was a bit late..). First stop was to Siti Nurbaya Bridge ("Siti Nurbaya" is a famous novel written by Marah Rusli which I read during my primary school days).

The bridge is a place to just relax and enjoy the view while enjoying local fare in the evening.



4th day (Monday 9th July)

Today we woke up early to get ready for our journey home :-(
After an early buffet breakfast (of various local dishes. DH asked for bread but was politely told that they do not serve any bread), we check out and headed back to Minangkabau Airport. Anas and Mawan (the driver) took us along the coastal road (read scenic - facing the Indian Ocean) which is still incomplete, after which we had to head back to the old road.

Our flgiht was on schedule, and by 11.30am we were back home! Aina changed clothes and insisted that we send her to her school (which we obliged!).

please come bakc later for pix (smz, 16/7/07)
