Going Back to Semarang

It is Thursday. We had good breakfast in the hotel. At 09:30 I, Anwar, Priyonggo, Citroseno, and Maulani went to Pasar Sayur, an old market in Balikpapan. There were many things offered such as gemstone, traditional textiles, etc. I was not interested on them so I went to Depot Nam Min to have coffee. I had it along with sarikaya baked bread. It was ok but not as tasty as bread of Dong Dao coffee shop in Pangkalpinang. At 11:00 we went back to the hotel.

At 12:00 we went to the airport. Our flight was Citilink QG861 leading to the Cengkareng Airport of Jakarta. It was scheduled to depart at 14:40 local time. I got seat 28A, Priyonggo 28B, Anwar 28C, Citroseno 28D, and Maulani 28C. Before boarding we went to the parking area to have lunch. There was a food court there and the price was budget. I spend Rp16.000 for a plate of lunch dish. At 14:30 we boarded and at about 15:44 our plane a Citilink Airbus 320-200 took off from Sepinggan Airport. Though cloudy our flight was smooth, at 17:32 Balikpapan time or 16:32 it landed at Cengkareng airport.

I tried to get a continuing flight to Semarang so in a hurry I went to the Batik Air counter. I tried to get flight of 18:00 but unfortunately I arrived there at 17:05. The ticket selling had been closed. So, I bought the next time ticket, it was schedule to depart at 19:50, ID8938. It was Rp590.000. At 20:10 a Batik Air Airbus 320 took off for Semarang. I was on seat 27A. At 20:50 we landed at Kalibanteng Airport. Rahutama picked me up home.
