It has happened before. We researched and we planned and yet we ended up doing completely different thing anyway. Why Because we met some travelers on the way who told us stories that altered our plan. Some French family in PoyalisaBomba was just one of those instances. Sarah Bas and us planned to go http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Sulawesi/Togean-Islands/blog-739384.html We all remember summer camps when we were kids right They were full of fun days at the beach swimming playing and having fun. They got even better when we were teenagers as we could party drink and smoke which was like breaking bad in a way. However the most important element of the memories we have from those days is people. People we had never met before and had nothing to do with initially http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Sulawesi/Togean-Islands/blog-739383.html Majority of people who have traveled for extended period of time know that it is hard sometimes to find the excitement anymore. It can happen especially when you spend too much time in the same region of the world. I guess we got to that point in Borneo where we were so fed up with things and people that we seriously had to try hard to stay motivated to go on. We were very relieved though when we http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Sulawesi/Tana-Toraja/blog-739382.html We have now finished 11 nights staying in Bunaken. Travelling has been a bit of a nightmare because we found out really late that all the locals go travelling 1 week before and 1 week after the end of ramadan which causes everything to be booked out and prices to increase to silly amounts. We decided to just sit it out in Bunaken marine national park which has world renowned diving. We managed to http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Sulawesi/Bunaken-National-Park/blog-739209.html http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Sulawesi/Tangkoko-National-Park/blog-737162.html Hurry through Sumbawa we did but only because there was little to specifically hang around for. The countryside is mountainous arid and pretty monotonous there are no sights as such. Contrary to rumour it turned out that the people were perfectly welcoming greeting us not with sticks and stones but smiles and Selamats good morning good day etc Indeed one bus driver took a http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Sulawesi/blog-733665.html We got onto a boat with Mike and Michelle for the last time as we headed over to Manado. The guys at the resort look every small but picked up our 20kg bags 2 at a time without straining. At the port in Manado we docked next to another boat and had to walk through it and up a makeshift ladder to get to dry land. Again the bags were transported by the guys as if they were light as a feather.We sai http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Sulawesi/Menado/blog-731291.html We were back late for diving today because we left late. Some guest including Toby and Harriet had been out in then boat before breakfast to see dolphins. Harriet isn39t orally keen on getting out of bed before sunrise but this morning was different.
