Day 2 - Flight to West Papua

Up at 9am for breakfast and general chat to Zac about the next few days and then packing before we meet the local guide at midday - in fact little more is covered than saying hello and agreeing to meet at 6pm in the evening to go to the airport.
After that it is a quick kit check and then check out of the hotel. We sit in the lobby for a couple of hours and then head to the nearby fancy mall for some remarkably poor local food.
Back to the hotel at half five and the local guide comes in shortly after (making up for the mess last night?) so we decide to head to the airport. Even though the airport is less than 7k away, the Jakartan roads and traffic means that it takes us an hour to get there however this turns out to be academic as the flight is not until 10pm and so we have a three hour wait until departure. Then it's an overnight flight with a short stopover in Bali before we get to Timika at 6am.
