Going to Manado, it's just me and her, there's no need for one more

Manado is Manado There are three ways to get to Manado: 1. Tour Group 2. Air ticket + hotel package (there are not many B&Bs, so it is not cost-effective to buy air tickets alone) 3. Charter flight (for the rich) The infrastructure in Indonesia is relatively backward, and there are not many entertainment facilities. The airport in Manado is also relatively small (a bit like the Langkawi Airport in Malaysia). The airport is small and there are no duty-free shops or anything. There is a parking lot (a bit shabby) as soon as you exit the airport. Generally speaking, a week is plenty of time to stay on the island. ✨If you don’t have money to exchange for Indonesian rupiah, don’t worry, you have two options: 1⃣️The tour guide will definitely have it with him, you can exchange it with them (the exchange rate will probably be a bit higher) 2⃣️There is a glass room on the left side opposite the airport gate with an ATM machine. UnionPay cards can be exchanged for Indonesian rupiah🇮🇩 ✨Manado essential items: 1⃣️Sunscreen🧴 (30 degrees Celsius is enough for daily use. If you are diving, you basically don’t need to apply sunscreen. Sunscreen will cause a large number of corals to die.) 2⃣️Sun protection clothing (I bought a sun protection jacket from Uniqlo, which has a high SPF and is not stuffy to wear) 3⃣️Umbrella🌂 (Mainly used for daily outings, but not much needed when going out to sea) 4⃣️Phone card☎️➕Adapter🔌 (There are packages on Taobao) 5⃣️Swimsuit👙 (I prepared two sets, diving suit + photo swimsuit) Most flights to Manado are night flights, and you will basically spend the first night staying in a nearby resort hotel. The first hotel we chose was a resort near the sea, which was convenient for going out to sea the next day. In order to make the trip less crowded, we will wander around the city on the first day, choose the itinerary for tomorrow's sea voyage and contact the captain. There are not many attractions around the city!
