While in Labuan Bajo, he had dinner with friends at Italian restaurant La Cucina. Local resident Gerarismo Satria said the restaurant belonged to Rossi’s childhood friend, who also hosted him during his trip in the region.
Adam, owner of the Dipe speed boat that Rossi used to explore the area, said the rider requested the trip not be covered by the media as it was a private holiday. (jes/kes)
