Slept great. Woke up and talked to Travis on the Internet before breakfast. Went down to the beach then back to the pool, then had to pack my things. When I started to get my act together some guy that I had asked about a price to the airport showed up at my door asking when i wanted to leave. I then had a back and forth about how his priced was too high. He made it seem like I made an agreement with him. It pissed me off that I constantly feel bad for not just giving people money. I got all packed up while waiting Juno. Then the cab that I actually ordered showed up. The drive went by quick and quite, which is fine by me. When we arrived I asked what the total was for the ride. He said it was 100,000 Rph. I had already seen the meter which read 60,000 rph. So I told him that the meter says 60,000 Rph. He tells me that He will give me a special price of 60,000 Rph. I give him a pissed off face and give him the 60,000 Rph. A couple jumped into the cab while I was paying him so I told them to watch the meter. Its just exhausting trying to relax when everyone is ripping you off. I was pretty freaked out about getting on the plane. The gate number that was printed on the ticket was wrong, by the time I figured it out the plane was about to take off. The flight was pretty smooth back to Jakarta. I grabbed my luggage and headed out to grab a taxi. Everyone was yelling Blue bird when it was obvious they were working for another company. I ignored the 100 people looking to scam me and headed straight for the blue bird taxi. Got in one and headed to a hotel that is cheap and close. The room is pretty run down but its to be expected. Got some dinner then hit the sack.
