Nias (27 Dec 2010)

Again, it's an emergency plan! I don't know whether it's plan D or plan E. But we got call from Pak Munte saying that there is a jet boat from Sibolga to G. Sitoli at 10. So we rush packing and get ready to the port. So, there you go, another plan!

We meet many people in the boat. There's a family (Australian dad and Chinese Indo mom) with three different outlook children (the eldest with mixed Western and Eastern look, the second with so Western look, the last with so totally Eastern look). I am just amazed by it. Many Pekanbaru people travel to Nias too. It's a 4-hour boat trip!

Arriving at G. Sitoli, we are picked up by Riang and sent to Hotel National. It is the first and the oldest stay in Nias. Old doesn't mean rusty, they definitely offer warm hospitality.

The first sunrise we catch in Nias

2 days down 4 days more to go! Ganbatte!
