Last Day of the Gathering

It is Sunday. It is the last day of the gathering. In the morning we felt more relaxed. We the group, had chatting while had breakfast. At 10:45 we were on bus leaving the hotel to undergo the last day. Those who would be going back to their hometown brought their baggages with them. I and Nuri left them in the hotel because we would extend our stay.

The bus stopped at the Taliwang Irama Resto 3 where we had lunch. They served us with their speciality, Taliwang Chicken. They also served bones soup, fried tahu and tempe, water spinach with hot chilli dressing, fried fish, vegetables in hot coconut grating. and young coconut desert. At 12:00 the group left the resto for Sukarate Village to see the traditional tenun craft. I and Nuri left behind to wait for Esti.

Esti and Dede picked up us at about 13:00. We then went to their house. It was my second time to go there but the first time for Nuri. We talked about our experiences, we also underwent dhuhur and ashr prayers. At 15:30 we went out to explore the town of Mataram. Tika and Tari were along with us. We came to the durian market in Karangbayan Narmada. We traced narrow roads leading there. Occasionally, we met processions of groom and bride. They made our trip slower. Before sanset we stopped at the Batulayar area where we wanted to take picture of sunset. Unfortunately, the sunset was covered by cloud. We missed it.

We went back to Mataram. We stopped by a pearl shop named Bunga Pearl Shop where Nuri bought pearl for her. The shop owner was Dede's niece named Nana.

We stopped at the Lombok Seafood Resto at Rembige area where we would have dinner. The owner was Dede's colleague. There were about 6 dishes that made us full. The dishes were delicious because there were various spicy.

At about 21:00 Dede and the gang dropped me at the Aruna Senggigi Hotel.
