Kota Ternate - Coffee

For days I've drank no coffee - and no beer! But today I found the Channel Cafe. Since there was delicious cappuccino and coffee. Otherwise, I was in the Chinese cemetery and again a little higher on the mountain, in a suburb called Moya.

It probably is time to place go to - plane, tomorrow Jailolo on Halmahera cross over, maybe stay a night there. Then there is a 3 - to 4-hour ride in a car with four-wheel-drive into the 200 km to the north of the island of Halmahera Tobelo announced. Buses are not on Halmahera.

In Tobelo there be beer, "says the guide books - because it is a predominantly Christian-influenced town. If that does not pay?

The Internet cafes in the Moluccas are really stone age. Many hours I spent this evening to upload the pictures. In the next few days are so well any more.

Kota Ternate - walk uphill

On various ways you can go from the City of uphill.





some point you can then the last houses behind and get into the orchards. Apparently many people have such a garden plot in which they can do some farming on the weekend. It looks like the jungle.


far I have not come, the climate is just too heavy. At 12 clock 30, I had 29.7 degrees at 82% moisture measured. It is wet with sweat quickly.

trip to Tidore

From the diary entry dated 26/02/2011:

I drove a minibus into the neighboring bastion and boarded a speedboat to the nearby island Tidore. Fit approximately 18 people on the boats, which are closed except at the tail completely (because they were all wet).

driven with two Yamaha engines, shot the boat then go to rum, it is only 3 km to the neighboring island. With another minivan I drove on to Soasio, the largest town on the island, but has also been plenty of village. 70 % Of the island so I had then been surrounded.


unloaded I was in a pretty uninteresting place. I then went on to Goto, a market town. Viewed

The exact colonial history, I'm not as well remembered. Ternate and Tidore were already as the Portuguese and Spaniards 16th Century came has long been independent, but warring sultanates, the fighting over the Gewuerznelkenmonopol. In Ternate, the Portuguese set themselves firmly on Tidore the Spaniards nor the persons and promote hostility. Later came then the Dutchman. Even Sir Francis Drake was here, was interested but not at all for the cloves, because his ship was already full of stolen gold from English ships.

Well, the tour was a bit unspectacular, especially volcanic Kiematubu Tidore's hiding in the clouds. I went back again.

> Back in Bastion, Ternate <



In Kota Ternate there is the sea between the great mosque and the port for a night market eats and a promenade. I bought a fish that was then fried. This gave it rice and vegetables. But in the connected tents, which can also be roasted and eaten yet, it's so hot, pass that one of the appetite. I was happy to come out of there and I was then recovered by the water of the sea front. There one can also observe family life, and especially the young children admire the tourists. There I also met the Australians again, which I already the voyage knew her - otherwise I get to see no other tourists.

Biggest Average Bra Size Country

Danau Galela and Luari Beach

before yesterday on Halmahera. The Guest House was ready for a taxi that drove me for about 2 EUR for the about 25 km from the lake Danau Galela. The lake is surrounded by picturesque villages, the rich but rarely up to the lake. However there are also a couple of burned-out churches, if you drive down to the lake - Score religious Komflikte in the years 1999 - 2002, which brought the Moluccas in disrepute. Thousands died then.



In Galela I let it put me down, went a little bit in place at the black beach. A lot is going on in the village but not seen, there is nothing special.



drove a minibus then I back, but stopped in Luari, because the beach is nice to be there. Actually it's a nice bay with white sandy beach, which is partly shaded by Kasuarienbaeumen. A few kids were there. One can look for shells and corals, crabs and lizards looks. A closer observation of life was to discover in the middens, some mussels made their suddenly on his way. Children collect them, they wrecked and reading the contents for the frying pan.



evening I was looking for beer in Tobelo, but I none can be found. Especially since it started to pour again, I was back in the Internet Cafe, as the evening turned out of power. As on the previous evening I had the mileage back to the hostel, put back in the dark - luckily occasionally illuminated the street cars and mopeds, as it is already badly dark without street lights.



air readings:



14:30 clock, 31.9 degrees, 70% Luftffeuchte;
Clock 22:00, 25.0 degrees, 94% humidity.



yesterday. I left again Halmahera. The taxi rushed in places, about 120 km / h up and down narrow winding road - you could make already worried. Of course not in the villages. Including many kids on the streets and to prevent it. Cattle and there are very rarely seen and even a pig.



In Malifut we went back a break. I ate Chicken soup, which is pretty well here in the Moluccas and somewhat sharp.



Sofifi went in there this time to a speed boat - I had the impression that the sea was rough this time.



So I am now returned to Nirvana Hotel in Kota Ternate back. In the evening I pointed to a big redfish at the night market - 4 EUR, well, must also be time to eat a little more expensive.

then took me a family in their van with the Portuguese Fort in Kastela. Did I mention that Western tourists are rare here? They wanted to take a picture with me. I got the sleepy toddler in her arms, the woman presented by the way - Photo finish.

Then I ran about 10 km through many villages on the west coast along.

Because almost no sun appeared, was that, otherwise I would have been tired. Much was driving no more, so that one could walk comfortably. All were amazed about the tourists shouting "Hello Mister". In the long run, the fatigue in her vocabulary of about 6 English words.


The villages are picturesque with their modest houses and an array of colorful blooming plants in front yards. There's always a mosque, on the streets running goats and chickens.

I went north of the island. Two mopeds took me to the next town. At whose home I got another cup of tea served, but communication was difficult. I went ahead and soon after took me a terrain vehicle. In it sat an English teacher and his three sons - logically also surprisingly better. The vehicle took me the remaining 12 km to the hotel. That was very good, because on the one hand I was quite ready and the other, it was now already dark.

How I Cured My Rhinitis

The boat trip to Ternate

The ship was located only a few hours delay of 18 clock 30 on the way - after all it took "only" about 13 hours. The hour before that I spent on the stern. First of course I managed the luggage to the assigned high deck in the belly of the ship. I was perspiring profusely, but it was because I had the luggage of course previously taken to the port. It was later on the trip will certainly endure better down there than I had expected, because the windows and doors pulled the warm tropical wind.



before the ship pulled away, drew crowds seller through the ship, selling everything imaginable from boiled eggs to glasses and toys for the children. I bought an egg and peanuts too - otherwise you will be fed by the other passengers, sometimes there was an ear of corn, sometimes dried banana. And generally such a waterway is an interesting study in "Indonesian family life".



On the ship the way, I met a "Western" tourists, an Australian who told me that he had sold his Mexican restaurant in Australia and would have bought a house in Mindanao. He now would be the first time in Indonesia and on the way to Halmahera, to search for friends good surfing to search.


Shortly after the boat finally drove off, was handed a dinner of rice and fish, and a sealed cup of water for every dealt. Then I went down also, already, on my haute 1 m wide deck.

Man was able to nap well, but it was plenty loud to sleep through the engine room. A few hours of sleep I can not find yet, because when I woke up, it was shortly before 6 am clock. I went on deck and there already were the Moluccas islands in sight - such as treasury untouched islands rising from this distance, the volcanoes of the 3 islands Hiri, Ternate and Tidore from the sea and port side could see the coast of the Big Island Halmahera, which is about 400 km Laengserstreckung the biggest, but historically rather insignificant island in the North Moluccas.

The first two hotels I booked were headed for. Moved down I'll be in nirvana hotel - another 13 - 14 EUR / night is payable there. With Aircon, of course. On this day of arrival, I did not get everything settled and slept a lot, washing laundry, strolled through the city and visited the old Dutch fort, one of five on the once important Island.

wandered Today / I hitchhiked around the island, which is almost circular with a diameter of only 6 km. In the center stands the volcano Gamalama. I have put many miles on foot back, so I am now also managed fairly and report about it tomorrow maybe.

This internet cafe is unfortunately quite poor and overheated, no chance of pictures for you.

How Much Does A Chest Waxing Cost

target Ternate

All right, I will report again. A while ago I bought a boat ticket to Ternate, a small island in North Maluku. I do not expect to travel about the Molucca Sea to be particularly fit. The vessel is determined as a kind Seelenverkaeufer, because the large, fast vessels do not travel from Manado. On the other hand, it was very convenient and easy to buy the ticket here, just 100 meters from the hotel. Otherwise I would have to have to drive 55 km away Bitung, first by Microlet to the bus station, then by bus - and do not even know if today runs a ship.

And also I feel fit enough to make such a trip, so it's no more endure in Manado, and while away the time (although we liked the hotel rooms are quite good).

called the ship "KM. Teratai intimate. Yesterday I met a guy at the port, which meant that the trip would take 18 hours. A few bananas And a bottle of water I take with - probably me is bad anyway, so pay that no large Hungergefuehle, I guess. No idea if there is to eat on the boat was - but it should not be good anyway, says the guide books on the vessels.
