Going to Pangkalpinang

It was Monday. I went to Pangkalpinang. I woke up at 03:00 and still laid on bed. At 04:00 I got up to prepare myself for a trip. I had a pear for my breakfast. After praying I went to the airport. Pak Kus dropped me there. I directly checked in. It was Nam Air flight number IN9221 scheduled to take off at 06:10. It was about 10 minutes behind schedule when the Name Air Boeing 737-500 took off. I was on seat number 21A. Almost on time the plane landed. I had about 2 hour for the next flight.

I had breakfast at the Handayani Resto. I ordered soto ayam and plain tea. They were all Rp65.000. Then, I went to the departure waiting floor, still in the Terminal Building 1B.  My flight was Sriwijaya Air SJ072 scheduled to take off at 09:40. The plane was a Boeing 737-800NG. I got seat number 21A,  same as the previous seat. However, I was in the middle of the plane compared to the previous seat location. I boarded at 09:10 but the plane took off about 10 minutes late, 09:50. The plane landed at about 10:55. In the arrival room I met Mahardi. He was waiting for his baggage.

We then exited from the terminal. A man named Aping (李水平) fetched us. We went to the A Sui Resto to have lunch. Seafood was the speciality. We ordered buncis stir fry, water spinach stir-fry, fried calamari, and kerapu fish in yellow spices.

We then went to the Bumi Asih Hotel to check in. We got a room number 609. The day was hot so we better to stay in the room, sleeping.

At 16:00 we left the hotel for Sungailiat just for sightseeing. Apin was still accompanying us. We went to the Tri Agung Temple (叁圣殿). In the site Mahardi flied his drone. I made some pictures the scenery surrounding.

Leaving the pagoda we went to the Pesona Bay. An entrance fee was imposed Rp15.000 per person. The area was constituted by cottages. We just there to fly the drone and made pictures.

The next destination was the town of Sungailiat. It was maghrib time Sungailiat was empty. We checked in the Tung To (东道) coffee shop. Apind told that the shop was the oldest shop in Sungailiat. We ordered cups of coffee and 2 packs of fried banana.

After full with coffee we went back to Pangkalpinang. On a food court on the way to the hotel we stopped by for having dinner. I ordered siomay dish. At 19:30 we arrived at the hotel.
