Telok Buku Sulawesi Indonesia 2015

Telok Buku, is in the middle of the North coast of Sulawesi, we stayed only a few day's to buy some fresh groceries.

This kind of fishing houses you see every where along the coast, sometimes in endless rows, bamboe poles, and in the middle a big net, they let the net down,at night, and put light on, now the light  a-tracks the fish, then the pull the net up.

No other sailboats around.

We hired a "bentor" with driver for a couple of hours, to go to the marked.

A good road with little traffic.

Almost half an hour drive to the weekly market.

Plenty vegetable and species.

Be careful with these, very hot.

Of course we want some eggs.

Underway we ran in to a political demonstration, nothing violent.

Eating in the rumah makan, local restaurant, with our driver.

The whole family is coming out to see the strangers.

And the water went down.

And the sun went down.

Manado City North Sulawesi Indonesia 2015

Manado is the capital city of North Sulawesi. We made from Kima Bajo an 1h30 bus ride to visit this city.

Impressing bridge in Manado.

Still some Dutch influence in Indonesia.

Statue of a Coelacanth, long time scientist were convinced that the Coelacanth was extinct, until fishermen found one in their nets in 1974, its a very rare old specimen fish, on the verge of extinction, probably this statue is here because this type of Coelacanth is only found in Indonesia.

Gemstone vendors on the street, I put my ring from Sangihe on, so I can make some impression.

"Di mana rumah makan" is the only sentence you have to learn to survive Indonesia, Were is the local restaurant?

The owners of the Rumah makan want to be in the picture.

Glenda has an religious experience, in the Chinese temple.

Glenda gave only change money, so she get only a few sticks to burn.

The supermarket, always nice cool.

Vendor on the small local market, were we pick up some veggies before going "home".
