From the Logbook...Leaving Town

As we depart the river in PalangkaRaya we see a number of things.  One is the little settlement of homes seen above.  Me and my family have driven through there and it was an experience.  When the river is really high, most of the homes are under water.  It was unlike anything I ever experienced driving through the settlement above.

On the edge of town, you can see one of the many gas stations in town.  They almost ALWAYS have a line.  Fuel, both unleaded and diesel, is hard to get in PalangkaRaya.  The line above is only diesel.  I'm assuming since there was no line for the unleaded pumps that they were already pumped dry.  We waited an hour earlier this week to get gas in our MAF car.  Things just take longer here in Central Borneo.
