Raja Ampat, Papua Adventure

Finally I went to Raja Ampat Island for some works. This is 7th place in Papua that visited by me after Jayapura, Keerom, Biak, Manokwari, Teluk Wondama and Sorong City.

From Jogja 7th February at 6.00, then arrived at Surabaya, Sorabaya to Makassar, Makassar to Manado all use MD-88 and MD-90 type airplane, and then From Manado to Sorong using DASH-8. Damn it! I should change airplane 4 times from Jogja to Sorong, and no meal in airplane, just a glass of mineral water. Consider to find another better airlines…



From Sorong I use speed boat for about 1 hour to reach Waisai, capital of Raja Ampat. Did some work, then go to Jayapura after 1 week there. This is very nice place, hope can go there again to diving with Papua-Diving Team.
