Rammang-Rammang Village
Rammang Rammang Village.

On our second day in Makassar, we drove about an hour out of the city and then caught a boat ride to a relatively remote village called Rammang-Rammang. Interesting place with traditional Buginese houses and surrounded by some nice looking limestone karsts. In the late afternoon, we got dropped off at the airport for our flight back to Bali.

Killing time at an air-conditioned shopping mall outside of Makassar before our flight back to Bali. We had not found fresh durian up to then but at least there was a shop selling durian ice creams and shakes (Nov. 2023).

Go to Bali Layover.
