This afternoon we take a boat (the green little boat on the left) from Batu Putih village.
Metres from the beach, Frigatebirds fly above us.

The water is very choppy. I feel quite sick and unsafe without any safety equipment.

On the return journey it rained.

Highlight: Sulawesi Masked Owl in a cave at Pintu, and Great-billed Kingfisher at Sampirang village.

Our nice and clean semi-detached house.

A double bed with mosquito netting and a single bed without netting. The floor is tiled. There is a fan mounted on the wall.

The bathroom is tiled from floor to wall. Can flush toilet! Still shower from a pail because the water pressure is very low.
