Get Well Acrostic Poems

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.

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.
