Tourists are back

Indonesian group yesterday

The weather went up to 12 degrees yesterday. It was lovely and sunny. I had a slow walk in the west with another student ... I've not been to the west side fo the City since the war started. I went to say hi to friends who run shops and restaurants. I've not seen them for 3 months now.

Life is almost normal here ... despite the war in the south. Tourist groups are back. The Indonesians are the largest visitors ... one group a day arrives. Then there are small family groups from Brazil, France, Germany and America. It's a good sign. I believe european airlines will resume flights by Easter.

We're expecting alot of rain this weekend and hopefully even snow. It's winter after all.
