Called Neni to meet me at another hotel down the street.
Then asked the conceiege to book my return ferry to Singapore at 06:00 on Friday. Also asked him to find me a reputable driver. He suggestted this "Endi" guy. We agreed to a rate and were off.
Neni & her sister both show up, on time. My she looked fine! So we went on a multi-hour trip around the island including their "Waterworld". I bought us all drinks, and paid the cover. A few hours in I suggestted lunch and for them to recommend the best spot on the island. We drove to "Golden Prawn". Fuckin' place could seat 5,000. Only one other table occupied on our arrival. The 1st course-of-duty was to select amongst all the species of fish, prawns, lobsters and crab. I let them go crazy! 2 - 1 kg. rock lobsters, 1 kg. crab, 8 crayfish, 2 fish, 2 veggie dishes, some OJ;s, my coconut water and 4 rice. I sure was hoping they took Visa, and they did. The bill? Try 1,211,000 IDR.
We were all stuffed like little piglets. Bought a deluxe Indonesian wood carving & then dropped the girls off, after making plans to see Neni again. Finally paid the driver 400K for the 5+ hours.
