Balikpapan – Berau – Derawan
11:30 AM – DONE WORK at Balikpapan Office!! Priscy and I were rushing to the Airport to meet our friend (Meidy) and to make sure we did not miss our 1:15 PM flight. Good news: No Delay!
Flight from Balikpapan – Berau took about 1 hour. You could not expect a smooth ride and fancy airport. Kalimarau Airport at Berau was a minimalist airport and there was not long conveyor belt or whatsoever. They were building a new and bigger airport, so perhaps when you have decided to go to Berau, the newer airport would be ready.

Pak Jon had arranged for a driver to pick us up: Pak Toto, a local driver with 20 years of experience had been waiting for us to take us to the Tanjung Batu Port.

| Ready for Derawan! |
Not wanting to miss a single thing in this trip. We chased the sunset right after we dropped off our bags at our room.. and here are some of the beautiful sunsets that we captured:
Dinner time = good seafood!
Note that Derawan is a village and you cannot expect to see upscale restaurant. All restaurants in Derawan = someone’s’ house and they would cook for you once you ordered. It took about 45 minutes – 1 hour to prepare the food. But, definitely it was fresh and good seafood.
