So all bags are packed to the best I can do, and Dewa is
picking me up from the villa to take me to the airport for the 2.15am flight
back to Timika (with a pit stop at Jayapura).
I want to push my luck to try and get everything I have
bought in Bali back on the plane with me. So i take all my bags in to the
airport to check in and make a very big plea to the guy that with my airfast
ticket, my extra baggage allowance I was getting and now that I am in the
business seats if they would be ever so kind to help me get home with all my
stuff (yes big puppy eyes). And would you believe it they are able to help me.
It will cost me $50 to get the bags on but there will be no receipt and I will
pay the man when he takes me to the lounge. I call Gobey just to check what he
thinks and we go for it. Now all I have to do is hope my bags get off at
Timika!!!!
The flight was long and the hour stop off the plane in
Jayapura was horrible. It was so busy and was a very busy airport. I got
through to the lounge and was able to get my phone charged and keep in touch
with Gobey to let him know what time I would be landing. And to check that the
choppers where flying. All is good to go and now the last hour of the flight is
ready to go.
We land at Timika and its a dash off the plane to get my
bags and before I managed to go through to the holding area I am told the bus
to the chopper is leaving in 5 and I need to move it!!! Talk about quick run
about, but hey I am on my way home.
Gobey is waiting for me when the chopper lands and when I
point out all my bags from the chopper he can’t get over how heavy they are.
What I can say I didn’t shop half hearted and most of the stuff I bought was
gifts and clothes for Gobey for work.
Never mind, home for a sleep while Gobey goes to work. I can
unpack when I get up later.
