1:00 am flight, early start to the day. 3 hours on plane, then 8 hours in a small hostel deal. Ramen noodles and coffee for "breakfast", then back to the airport for this whole deal...my brain shut off and I followed where they told me to go, pretty much. Then, we boarded a small plane (Twin Otter) and flew to another island, presumably the one Carstenz is on. We spent the afternoon cruising the town. Interestingly here, there is a lot of money in the cars. The town is dirty, but a lot of cars are fancy. On our stroll we cruised a local market where in one shop you could find vegetables, machetes, shoes, doorknobs; lots of variety. Nobody local speaks English, but all of them are eager to sell their wares. It doesn't feel like you are 2 minutes from the beach when you are in dark alleys squeezing through people that are looking at you so hard they forget to move.
