Oct 31 Fly to Singapore

Airport at Wakatobi

We flew back to Singapore via Wings Air. The airport at Wakatobi was small. The only plane we saw was the one we used. Surprisingly it was full, but most guests got off at the first stop (45 minutes) and we carried on to Makassar another hour's flight. The visability was good and I took several picture of the cumulus clouds. Unfortunately we saw several fires as the farmers were clearing more land thus creating more smog. There has to be a better way.
On arrival in Makassar we had to wait 45 minutes for our bags, but Joan was enamored with the dresses and hijabs the women wear. Indonesia is the largest Islamic country in the world, but the women are not shy. I would love to take their pictures but I'm afraid to ask. We made the final hop from Makassar to Singapore and even in the dark it was easy to see the smoke from the fires in Indonesia had abated. Better visibility and much brighter colours were noticeable on the way home.
