Goodbye Tanjung Puting

Day 17 - Tanjung Puting to Jakarta 

Our riverboat trip was scheduled to finish at 10am but as the boat didn't have a same day booking we had a leisurely morning and a slow cruise back to port.

We were collected from the port at midday and dropped off at the Mercure hotel in Pangkalan Bun for lunch until it was time to go to the airport for our flight back to Jakarta where we were to spend a night before the next part of our trip.

We stayed at a different airport hotel this time, still in Terminal 3 but at the international end, which had a much better selection of eating places. We enjoyed yet another spicy satay dinner, which was a nice change as the meals on the boat had been quite bland (to our tastes), although seeing the facilities the cook had at her disposal it's amazing what she managed to produce.
