Misfortune? Not really...
Having the plane delayed for 2 days isn't so bad after all. We went all around Manado to see some great some sightseeing places.
Firstly, we went to Tomohonn village. Tomohon is famous for two things: the beautiful flowers and its restaurant featuring grilled bats on the menu.
Unfortunately, or fortunately; the restaurant is closed on sundays as everyone is in church, so we didn't go there. I wouldn't want to eat grilled bats, my dad said that if we were going he would've ordered grilled cats. I think he's just joking, but this drove my sister insane becuase she loves cats.
Anyways, we movedupwards to wards the hill, and right at the peak was Kota Bunga. A variety of such beautiful flowers surround it, it was lovely. It's such a wonderful place, kind of like a park thing; people should visit here more often. SOmeone told me that many peoplae used to come here duriong their recreation time, but nowadays many people prefer going to the mall.The view from Kota Bunga is great, you can see Mt. Klabat and Mt. Lokon. The colour of Mt. Lokon is just beautiful. It was green with orange and yellow. In Kota BUnga, there was also a Chapel, the design of it was really cool. I loved it.
After Kota Bunga, We went to lake Tondano to have lunch. We ordered some prawns, we hear that they are quite nice. My sister found something rather odd in the menu. There was the NIKE fish. hmmmm, My sister was thinking how come a brand of shoes would be in the menu, and being a fish. My mum got quite interested in it so she ordered some. Obviously it's not the Nike shoes, they're these tiny fish kind of like plankton buut it tastes nice.
Awhile later, our food arrived; and mamma mia!!! the prawns looked so delicious, but the prawns were more like crayfishes. Anyways, I dug in and began eating, before I could realise I ate a ton of these crayfish.
