This one didn’t go smooth :D

Bad weather..

Miscommunication with the molana cottage’s owner..

And more bad weather..

But it’s okay, all is well

As always :D

Day 1. 19 Feb 2015

Arrived at Pattimura airport at around 7am. Couldn’t sleep on the plane. Everytime we begin to sleep, there’s always something. The stewardess offering meals.. transit at makassar.. the stewardess offering another meal. And so we didn’t get much sleep. Because of this, we were all kinda sleepy on our first day in Ambon :D

From the airport, we went straight to Benteng Amsterdam. By the way, this is my 3rd visit to Ambon.

Next, we visited an old Mosque named Masjid Wapaue, located nearby Benteng Amsterdam.

After lunch at RM 88, we went to visit Pantai Liang. Too bad it was very very windy that day. I still managed to enjoy the beautiful blue although it was not as beautiful as the first time I saw it in 2010.

Then, the giant eel at Waiselaka.

I already have a picture of myself touching the giant eel back in 2010. This time I just sit back and watched a man trying to lure the giant eel with eggs so that the visitors can take pictures while touching the eels.

Time to dip your feet (and body) to the hot water of Hatuasa. Again, I’ve already done this one, so I opt to relax and watch my friends screaming in agony (or in pleasure? haha) and order sarmento (sarimi with eggs).
