SULAWESI, INDONESIA

Some pictures of a 7 weeks trip in Sulawesi. Starting in Manado in the north east, then by boat via the Togian islands to Poso. After a trekking in the Bada valley we continued to Toradja area, and we ended the trip in Ujung Pandang. But of course we also had time to visit the national reserves of Bunaken island and the beautifull beaches of Donggala and Patuputih. Sulawesi is defenitely worth travelling for a longer period then only a short trip to Toradja area.
