This is a type of hotel developed in Japan that features a large number of extremely small "rooms" (capsules) intended to provide cheap and basic overnight accommodation for guests not requiring the services offered by more conventional hotels. There were no doors, just the screens. However, after travelling 15 hours I was more than happy to sleep in my "prison cell".

Every McDonald's should have this view!
We needed to use WiFi, and the malls don't open until much later, so we sat at McDonalds. And yes, they have the same menu as us- but I didn't eat anything.

Magnificent Massage in Manado
The young lady in the black t-shirt gave me a wonderful aromatherapy massage. Not only did she walk on my back, legs, and arms, she cracked my neck. After the massage I was in the sauna followed by a wonderful hot shower. Besides feeling wonderful after the massage, it was made sweeter by only paying $10.00
Sunrise at Mount Temboan in the village of Rurukan
Situated in the mountains, at the foot of Mount Mahawu, Rurukan is a very small village. It can be cool and misty which it was for our sunrise adventure. It was still peaceful and tranquil and well worth getting up at 4:00 a.m. refreshing.
Mount Mahawu
After seeing the beautiful sunrise, we went to the crater lake. There is a road allowing us to drive close to the top of the volcano. From there we hiked for 15 minutes to the top.
Although I thought it was warm, Regina and her family bundled up for the trek up the mountain. |
It was spectacular, even though the lake was rather dry, you could still smell the sulphur. |
Gardinia Country Inn
A resort situated in a beautiful garden, along with freshly-prepared organic food, we just stopped by after our morning adventures to enjoy the peaceful serenity and drink coffee.

Avocado ice drink with red beans
Chocolate syrup is on the bottom of the ice with sweetened condensed milk and....
avocado and red kidney beans. Actually quite tasty, but very sweet.
Private Property
As we were trying to find the hotel, we inadvertently went in some one's beautiful compound.
Since we were already trespassing, we thought we'd take some pictures!
Private Garden's of the owner of the Green Garden Hotel
We came to this restaurant to eat, but they allowed us a special visit inside where the owner lives.
The view from the restaurant towards the owner's garden. We also sat at a table while a Christian service was being held.
