Wamena – Dani country. Papua, Indonesia. In the morning I took a bike rickshaw (becak) to the market on the outskirts of Wamena. Interesting: many exotic vegies and fruits, raw tobacco… Few naked men fron the countryside with the gourds on their penis. But no Dani topless ladies – things are changing…
I did not have any problem with the return flight from the jungle to the civilisation – to Jayapura. The planes are bringing huge loads: barrels of fuel, food, steel elements to Wamena – returns are almost empty…
Can you imagine my luck? I planed to fly from Jaya to Manado. But I found the boat going that way! “Sinabung” – was delayed only 4 hours. It was hot and humid night when I was waiting in front of double-fenced jetty in the crowd of maybe 2000 people… They opened the gate at 10 pm and I started to run with the others. Nobody controls the tickets. They do it later – when the ship already at sea. The ship is registered for 2000 pax, I have impressin that it carry twice more… Ahoy!
