THE ADVENTURE IN BELITUNG ISLAND WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN

The plan for Belitung Island getaway was put forth when we found out the AirAsia direct flight coincided with the dates of the school break for Deepavali. In the end, 5 friends and one kid excitedly waited for the day to arrive. The people involved were my 4 ex-coursemates of UPM TESL class of 1993 and the daughter of one them, and another ex-UPM alumnus of the same batch.

11:40 a.m. [west Indonesian time] landed safely at H.A.S Hanandjoedin Airport (that is a mouthful name to pronounce for an airport).

the excitement continued at HAS Hanandjoedin Airport

Only at small airports you could get yourself photographed very near to the plane and airport on the tarmac.








The airport was just a small one, there were many passengers from the same flight and the queue was long. However, we were in no hurry and the waiting did not hamper our excitement for the long awaited vacation.











Mr. Hadi, Puan Adila's husband who is working there, was already waiting for us at the exit of the arrival hall with another driver, wondering what took us so long to get out. We quickly hopped into the car and the real adventure on Belitung Island was about to begin.
