We all woke up feeling a bit "chesty", as my mother would say, due to the damp room. We got out early, processed some photos and walked around the botanical gardens and museum. Big rats from Lombok.
It was Black Friday, the last photo developed was the 666th of the trip and the kids in the photo were making devil signs. But we're not superstitious. We walked round the market and round the shops. We decided to go back by walking around the outside of the park. On the way we stopped to help some students with their English studies. They get a bit lost when you go off the script. We walked on and found a new shopping centre. We were very excited when we discovered the Pizza Hut within. Thank god for standardised fast food. I used the free pitcher of Coke voucher I'd won in Yogya which was worth 5,200rp.
We walked back and at the pension we met and English couple called Neil and Sarah. They're doing almost the reverse journey as us so we spent 6 1/2 hours talking about India, Kenya, Indonesia and everywhere in between.

The kids in the photo making the devil sign can be seen on the 11th March.
666 photos. Assume 37 shots on a 35mm roll of film which means I'd got through 18 rolls of film in 237 days. That's 13 days for each roll of film or 2.8 photos per day. We were very careful when shooting photos as every one cost money. By comparison in 12 days in Tokyo with the family last year we shot 350 photos in 12 days (29 photos per day).
Big rats from Lombok. I seem to remember the museum had rats the size of small dogs on display.
