Boat from Ampana to the Togeans

13 July.
When I crawled out of my room around 09:00, nobody was around. No guests, no employees. Strange. So I just put the 65k on the table in my room and left.
I had planned to catch a boat to Wakai, but the only boats leaving for Togean Islands today went to the village called Bomba. So I ended up going to Bomba instead, which was not a problem for me. The boat left at 10:00, and took around 3 hours.
In Bomba, or more correctly, on a tiny island just outside Bomba, there is a place called Poya Lisa Cottages. It was full, so I was offered to stay the first night in a house in the village (together with some other travelers in the same situation as me). The proprietor took us to the island for lunch and dinner, however, so we only came back to the village in the evening to retire for the night. I shared room with a Mexican.
Boat from Ampana to Bomba. The last stretch by ojek (motorbike).
