Day 12 - Sumatra

This day started with 12 hour sleep in the hotel without any light, Zoli fighting mosquitoes and covering his face with a pillow case, and finally pastry breakfast in the airport that I desperately wanted for such a long time!

After 2 hour flight we arrived to Padang on Sumatra. No wonder that first thing to do was to negotiate something - this time the car. As usual, prices were too high and arguments were too weak, plus the guy was very strange.

In Padang city we tried amazing taxi mini buses called opeletes. These cars are painted in bright colors and tuned to the likes of the driver with nothing but stereo on board :) We enjoyed a good techno selection in ours :)

Bus to bukittinggi took us two hours with last hour in heavy rain. The driver happened to be a tricky one and tried to get more money from us for dropping directly to the hotel.
