Langau

We stopped for a day in Langau, a little sandy beach with the coconut trees, the little paradise we promised shane.
We climbed a few trees and feasted on coconuts. We also found a couple of very nice and friendly cats. We shared our coconuts with them. We didn't eat the cats.

We kept on walking and found a small indo-luba hut with no-one in there. After a while we managed to talk John out of burning the huts down.
All in all, it was a good day.

Shane did some snorkeling, too.

Gambar

From Kumai it took us three days to get to Gambar, the next island. We were sailing through shallow waters all along, although we were quite far from land.
It felt really strange, at the end of each day we just dropped the anchor, seemingly in the middle of the ocean, without any land in sight, and went to bed...

On the second morning we woke up to see that a fishing boat got us in it's net and we had to wait for them to pick it up, we were reluctant to just cut it.
When they finally came around, they smashed into our boat and had to cut it anyway...
Gambar was a good little couple of islands, we stayed there a couple of days and had ourselves the good old bon fire on the beach with potato jacks, fresh fish from the local fishermen and a bit of guitar playing...We found some boulders on the island and climbed a few, they were suprisingly good fun.
Other than that, we went exploring with the machete and destroyed a bit of forestry...
