I have just arrived home from a great weekend in Sulawesi outside of Manado...I met up with some friends travelling around Indonesia!!!!!!!! Great to see you Laure!!!!!! We went to Tangkoko-Batuangas Dua Saudara Nature Reserve where we hiked to see Tarsiers (smallest mammal) & Black Macaques (species of monkey that are only existing in the forest i this area in Sulawesi)...before our evening hike, we walked through the village to the beach...it was a beautiful black sand beach with many man-made boats!!!!! It was really nice, but not pleasant to swim as the current was sooooo strong!!!!!!! Later that afternoon we headed for a hike to see the Tarsiers as they are nocternal and the next morning to another hike to see the Macaques....it was great to see them...the Tarsiers are soooo tiny with cute little fingers and the Macaques were sooo cute while moving through the trees....it took us forever to find the Macaques, but when we did there were many...it was well worth it....after we hiked back to the car and started back to the village, there were some more on the way...they proceeded to jump on the side mirror next to where I was....I totally thought they were coming into the car....these ones were not as nice since they were digging through trash and it felt like they were more agressive as they were showing their teeth....very interesting!!!!!!!!!!
Later on Sunday, we headed to Manado to lay by the pool and relax at the hotel...sleeping by the pool was great!!!!!!!!!! This morning before heading home I had an AMAZING massage (1st one since arriving in Indonesia) and then had lunch and headed to the airport...It was a great weekend....on the flight I met a couple travelling around and they were telling me about another amazing experience they had on Sulawesi...I think I will be going back really soon, but to another area!!!!!!!!!!!
