Merpati DH-6 (Made in Canada)

                                                               

Today we returned to Singapore to stay with Caroline and Ali once again.   Our first flight was from the island of Flores to Bali.  We boarded on time and sat on the plane for 30 minutes.  Then we got off again and sat in the terminal for 20 min.  Then we boarded again and took off promptly.  There appear to have been some controlled burning going on too close to the runway and during our time in the terminal they doused some of the fires and cleared the crews and equipment from the runway.            We did have 4 hours to wait in Bali so no major problem.  The flight from Bali took off on time and we had daylight for 20 minutes, but we did not fly over any volcanoes.
