Padang

Our last few days in Sumatra were spent in Padang, one of Sumatra's larger coastal cities and West Sumatra's largest city located on the Indian Ocean. The humidity was high and the sweat was running. This town although crowded and hot did not seem as busy and dirty as Medan, Sumatra's 3rd largest city on the Strait of Malacca. We walked the markets with the variety of smells, mostly fish, and colorful vegetables. Everyone around us was friendly and welcoming. They loved to have their photos taken.
