The day started with the pupils going to their classes with their buddies in the morning. Later in the day, Riverlites and their buddies had more games and activities in the hall. At about 2.00 pm Surabaya time, Riverlites were given a warm farewell by SNA pupils and staff. Tears started flowing during the ceremony as the Riverlites bade their new found friends goodbye.
Then it was off to the airport where the Riverlites don their Surabaya T-shirts, a souvenir from Surabaya by the school.

A WONDERful Day at Jatim Park
We had an WONDERful day at Jatim Park 1 & 2. It started with an hour bus ride from our hotel in Malang back to Batu. The weather was perfect for our walks.
At Jatim Park 1, we learnt a lot about the Indonesian culture, Science and History as we walked through the amazing and engaging exhibits.
Batu Secret Zoo at Jatim Park 2was our next stop where we were surprised at the wide variety and unique species of animals they had. Every few steps led to us discovering something new and exciting. There were monkeys, panthers, snakes fishes and birds in one place.
Our walk made us a little hungry so we went to an Indonesian restaurant for lunch before we headed back to Jatim Park 2 for a look at the Animal Museum. Here we see lifelike recreations of a lot of animals as well as fossils.
The day ended with a 3 h bus ride back to Surabaya town where we had dinner at Pizza Hut before we checked in to Sahid Hotel Surabaya.

More about our first day...
These are the pictures from our tour of the agriculture park in Batu.
Here, we tasted the sweetest green orange and the freshest guava juice.
Our First Day in Surabaya...
We had a long and fulfilling day in Surabaya. Our first stop was the Cheng Ho Mosque which was unique because of it's architecture. The mosque looked like any typical temple but it is the place of worship for Muslims in the area.
Next, we went up the highlands, where the apples, strawberries and guava were grown. We were pleasantly surprised at how cool, nice and beautiful the area is.
