In the morning we entered the Bay of Manokwari. What a nome – it is one of the few townships on the north coast of Papua. There are nice little island in the bay. On one of them two German missionaries established in the past the first mission in the area. There are ruins of the church and the white cross on the shore – visible from far away.
I had 2 hours to go ashore and to wander around the little town – smiling to the friendly people and taking pictures of their life. This area is known for the birds of paradise – but you have to organize boat expedition with a guide to see them… I saw these exotic birds years ago in PNG…
New islands, new bays… In the evening we reached another port – Nabire…
