March 31st, morning, We began our day with a morning walk around the historic harbour.

Bill doesn't quite cut it as a sailor;-)

HARBOUR SIGHTS

The smaller fishing boats are anchored on the other side of the harbour


 

Nope, still not Blackbeard...Bwana Bill maybe?

Our CEO Vera demonstrating the "walk the plank" technique.

There were at least 12 of these old wooden vessels in the harbour
Pretty cool looking ships but not sure we could live on one . . .
. . . wouldn't even be able to manage the gangplank!

The bikers we saw earlier decided to take a breather
and hired a small boat to take them down the river.

We're surprised these can still stay afloat.
They transport cargo around Indonesia
A stark contrast between these ancient schooners and the modern highrises.

Cargo was being unloaded from one of the schooners.
These bags were animal fodder from the waste product from coconuts and palm sugar.
The guys make about $5.00 a day.

Time to leave the harbour area. . .
. . . on to our next adventure.
