For this trip we took Garuda indonesia airlines for our very first time.
Boarding from Singapore Changi airport at 6:55am to Jarkata. (1 h 50m 896km) (Jarkata is one hour behind Singapore Time)
This was Breakfast . The food was really so so, i dipped the fruits and the croissant into the yogurt which i thought it was a "tasteful" idea haha, nothing to shout about, at least it looked good :) Kongfu Panda 3 help compensate haha
im quite impressed that Garuda uses proper cutlery (Good on you :)
Funny though, a couple of times when me and my Love asked for water the air stewardess gave us water instead. When we touched down, our friends told us they had the same problem haha.
Then a stop over for 2h 25m. ( There's wifi at the Jarkata airport, it didn't quite work for me but it definitely worked on the boys lol. It was also the time we read the news announcement on Pokemon Go lol)
Boarding from Jarkata at 10:35 am to Manado. (3h 10m 2190km)
This was hmm....brunch ( the whole trip i've not felt hungry i think haha)
Beef and Rice, Cookie as snack (since it was a 3 hour flight)
Then our ground transportation waited for us at the airport and drove about 1:30 minutes (due to heavy traffic hour) to reach our resort at Tasik Ria Resort & Spa.
Alright, so since this post is about the Journey , i will stop here and continue with the flight going back to singapore.
We left the Resort about 1pm. I suggest you spare at least 30 minutes too check out and settle bills, you never know what could go wrong and you definitely dont want to risk missing your flight, not forgetting the traffic from the resort to the Manado airport. There's really alot of cars and rarely you see traffic lights. Anyway~
Manado to Jarkata boarding time 15:55pm (when your at the Manado airport, just follow the line and check in at the entrance, dont worry you are able to come out and eat or shop before you decide to really check inside, there's restaurant inside as well, just that there is no KFC inside, yea we had that lol.
This is Kuay teow with chicken, not bad :)
and that pancake looking dough , we had no clue what was it lol
And the flight from Jarkata to Singapore .
I finished EVERYTHING even im not hungry accept for the dessert, we bought 4 donuts from Manado airport earlier hahaha
Chicken and potato with steam vegetable side, bean curd appetizer .
.
once we reached Jarkata our flight delayed 1h 30m. overall we reached singapore about 1:30am
There was no Uber and so we took Taxi :)
