On the way back to hotel, Ragga, IPY inform Heide that he forgotten his hand carry in the medeka stream. Heide ask him again, do you confirm you forgotten you bag in medeka streem and he say yes. Luckily he notices early, if we reach hotel so no one will go and take his bag. The bus drive turn back to medeka streem.
