Tangkoko
After a short detour to Malaysia we flew straight back to Indonesia's Sulawesi Island. We simply couldn't stay away for too long - this part of Indonesia has some of the best diving spots and my fins were itching for a dip in the deep.
Being reunited with vdinets meant running through the forest again, and though we were still sore from Taman Negara, that's just the sort of sacrifice we make for old friends. masha_kvashonka was with us as well. And we felt whole again among the closest of our nomadic friends.
Tangkoko was the usual laid back Indonesian National Park with no fences or gates but only a shack of a park office and rangers who were very surprised we didn't stop by. We slept in an abandoned house in the forest, a stone's throw away from a black beach, and as usual enjoyed sneaking around for a swim or a night walk, hoping to spot big eyes in the canopy. Unfortunately, the rangers did discover us in the morning but I bargained and the price of our freedom was included in a paid walk with a guide to a tree where the tarsiers lived and posed for pictures.
