The sea is so far not so rough. I am the only white passenger on board (2000 pax capacity on the ship). I introduced myseff to the captain. Now I have free access to the bridge. Today in the late afternoon we reached Kota Ambon on the Moluccas (Maluku – they say). Till 2004 here were fights between Christians and Muslims. Now it is already peaceful… Nice, friendly people, but the knowledge of English is almost zero…
Tomorrow we will reach Bandaneira – famous Spice Island…
