Supposed to be 1st... but 2nd .. GOOD enough.....
Helping hands... to avoid.. delays...

Road already good enough....  reached Balai Bekuak... a short drive... stopped for refilled FUEL...SOLAR   only..

Good price...  all 30 liters   ...Rp180,000 @ Rp6,000..per liter.


By NOON.....  arived at landing jetty... for d' FERRY's Terminal... to other side of d' Kapuas River's... station... from.. Teraju.. to PIASAK...TAYAN..

Nissan Patrol...  KL8936  ...was NOT   so lucky..... had to be TOWed...
