Day 4 - Balikpapan to Berau (Tanjung Redeb)
A short flight today to the city of Berau (or Tanjung Redeb as the locals call it) in the northern part of East Kalimantan.
Balikpapan airport is large, new and modern, not what we expected in such a seemingly remote location, so it wasn't such a bad place to hang out for over four hours while we waited for our plane to depart. There was heavy rain in the morning which prevented the plane we were to travel on from landing, so we had to wait for it to return from where it was diverted to.
On landing at Berau we took an airport taxi to the Mercure Hotel, in a new and very modern building which stood out amongst the more normal shops and houses surrounding it.
