Bun: Today we had to get up by 9am the latest but it was a heavy rain from about 6am and I was pretty much awake from then. I only got out from the tent at 9am though. Katherine went back to Barefoot to exchange their project proposals. I warmed up yesterday’s dinner and had…

Arborek: Our first morning started with a lovely porridge (in the middle of Raja Ampat) by the beach just looking at the sea. Not bad, huh? We had a plan of seeing mantas but it didn’t really work out because we couldn’t find anyone to take us. After breakfast we went to see Bearfoot Conservation….

Today we had to pack everything. All of our bags and food, water, etc. We were pretty excited to finally getting out from the house and see Raja Ampat as we should. We had to go first to Una’s office to get the permission to Raja Ampat. Everyone who enters the islands have to pay…

Yesterday we had what I call: the negotiation day. Due to fairly bad weather, we didn’t do much. However, Una (our host) told us she has a friend who could maybe help us with the boat to Pyanemo. We were actually very stressed out about the fact if we can leave the next day or…

We arrived to Waisai yesterday afternoon. Firstly we went to a girl who Harry contacted as a couchsurfer. We are staying at hers for free. Conveniently she works at a tour office so we spent about 2 hours at her workplace waiting for her finish time. We gathered some info in the meantime as what…

After so many difficulties lately I’m on the way to paradise. The last 2 days I’ve spent at Harry’s home and I felt like I’m trapped. It’s nobody’s fault but sitting at the same place for 2 days… that’s not me. We went to have a coffee on my last evening in Gorontalo which was…

Yesterday was all about travelling. We had to get the boat ready to give back to the key owner and then go back to Wakai. We then decided to go to see a cute little waterfall. We walked there which was an easy and quick walk after we got dropped by a motorbike just the…

This morning I slept the longest. I woke up at 9am, I was probably exhausted from what happened yesterday. We had a chat with Harry yesterday and the way he wants to help me is that he said I don’t have to pay the second part of his guide money,which would be IDR 1,500,000. I…

Last night and today was probably the worst since I’m here. After I finished my journal, I tried to fall asleep. My arms burning like hell did not help and the fact that there was a giant cockroach fell or flew (not sure) next to me didn’t help the situation. Harry helped me get rid…

I woke in the middle of the night to a horrible sound. It was a very very heavy rain and the sound was as it got to our roof. It sounded like someone is about the take the roof off. It was like this all night. I woke up at 6am and the rain hasn’t…
