“Labobar” is only 5 years old – it is a nice ship! – said the charming lady in the Pelni window… I was on time for the departure in the Sorong port. Oh sorry – in front of the port gate. The gate was locked and a crowd of local people was sitting just on the ground in front of the gate… Where is the ship? Nobody knows… It looks it is normal here – the ship will be when it will arrive. Do I have to seat with them?
I went to the nearby Pelni office asking why they do not allow passengersto wait in the waiting room in the terminal? They said that they can do nothing and let me wait here – in the office and thwy will wait there…
Yes, we were waiting – 7 hours – this is the joy of the island- to island travel i Indonesia… We departed at 8 p.m. Ahoy!
