The journey from Palu to Makassar will be a distance of 828 KM. So, the travel time required is around 22-24 hours. If there are no stalls open, passengers will starve.
However, at that time the bus driver did not remain silent. Without asking the passengers' permission, he stopped at his in-laws' house for a visit, coincidentally it was Eid.
" Thank you, Mr. Borlindo Palu-Makassar bus driver, first day of Eid, we are still on the road to go home. At 12 noon I was hungry. All the stalls were closed ," he wrote in the caption.
Of course, not only yourself, all passengers were also asked to get off and go into the house. More than 20 people ate the typical Sulawesi food served by the driver's in-laws. Some foods such as buras, mashed and so on.
" But the driver secretly took us to his in-laws' house and served us food to eat together on Eid ," he continued.
