Escape from Siladen on Silk Air
By Lothar. Filed in Indonesia, Singapore |I am getting tired of the mediocre food at Siladen Resort.
We call Silk Air in Manado and are able to change our flight to Singapore from the 26th to the 24th. This will give us 3 more nights in Singapore. Our boat shuttle ride from Siladen to the Barracuda Jetty in Manado is full of suspense.
The engine is more sputtering than running. Are we going to make the flight? The next flight is 2 days from now! We do make it to the airport on time, and our Silk Air A320, airline code MI (!), takes us west across Borneo to our destination:
1 Degree 20′ North and 103 Degree 59′ East, Changi Airport, Singapore.
At 7 PM, we are swimming again in the mineral water pool of “our” Marina Mandarin Hotel. It feels like coming home!
We have our Singapore Welcome Dinner at the “Brotzeit” Restaurant: Brezen, Nuernberger sausages, Obatzda cheese for the hunger and Paulaner Weissbier to quell the thirst. Not exactly Asian food tonight
