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.
short 8 clock before the ship then reached Kota Ternate, the largest city in the North Moluccas.

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.
