Tuk-Tuk - Leg progress

I want to report that my left leg continuous to show improvement. Still a little bit of limping, and upstairs is a problem, but everything is happening at higher speeds, which feels more like normal life.
Now that Veronica was so super kind to schedule a doctor appointment on Tuesday, I'm confident I'll be perfectly fine by then. (So, as it usually happens, doctor will find no problem, and it'll start hurting again the day after).

Veronica, thank you so much for hosting us again.

Today we hired a driver to take us around the island (inside the lake). We learned that people on this island are christian, not muslim. That's why nobody was waking us up at 4am! There are more churches on this island than on any major European city. Also, the best buildings in the best locations are graves. The local people put more effort on the graves than on their houses. Finally, we visited a hot spring. It sounded like a great idea first, but once we were there at 1pm under the scorching sun, it was so hot we couldn't stay more than 5 minutes. All in all, very nice to see the world after spending 2 full days inside a hotel. Tomorrow we are heading back to Medan, we plan to see orangutans on Saturday.
