School of life part 16 : going back to the start


Wondering if your life is stuck at the moment, feels static, feels homesick.
Release all of your misery and just go back from the start, again and again.
Fear is absurd, brave is stupid, but faith is one thing.

There is something good out there. Are they?

Risk is just a game, and lets play the next level.
Dont just play level 2 tetris and win everyday.

So let's do something for your soul, for my soul.

Sincerely,

Life.

White Water Rafting Sonder



North Sulawesi adventure is about to an end, i'm moving back to my hometown and this is my last adventure.


White water rafting in sonder, maybe not so popular among all the beautiful things in Bunaken and Lembet, but it was amazing, more amazing than in Bali and Java.


The track is about 9 km, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Good bye Manado.

Splash of heaven in Tomini Gulf

Almost 24 hours trip from manado to this gulf, what for?
There is rumour that this gulf owned a really great archipelago and a great barrier reef.

And i found out more about this archipelago : The largest Indonesian Marine Park, 4,4 million Ha, with 262 Corals species, almost 600 Species of Fish, 555 molusca, and more endemic species such as Dugong, Sea Turtle, pilot whale, etc..WOW..



And i think why not?

Togean archipelago offer a lot of diving site, a great landscape, a green turquoise water, and white beach. Kadidiri island seems to be best option for base camp to explore this archipelago.

There is three resort option in kadidiri (sort from the cheapest)
1. Lestari Homestay
2. Black Marlin Dive Resort
3. Kadidiri Paradise Resort

And also a lot of homestay and resort spreaded all over the islands.



Diving is also incredibble, they have a barrier reef length almost 7 km, B24 Bomber Wreck, Wall, Coral Garden, Macro site and great school of barracuda and jack fish.



This is the endless heaven.

A great escape from your routinity days, and a cheaper option than Derawan, Komodo or Raja Ampat. However the Togeans offers one of finest diving in Indonesia. 4th below R4, Derawan, Bunaken.

You can visit this archipelago from Gorontalo (ferry leaves tuesday and friday night) or Ampana (daily ferry).

Beware Dangerously Beautiful Indonesia.
