99 Domes Mosque in Makassar.
On our first morning back in the city, we took an hour long boat ride to a little island chain for a few hours of snorkeling. Pretty decent especially considering that we were still in visual range of a metro area with about 3 million inhabitants. Rounded out the day with some urban sightseeing and eating.
