Manado to Gorontalo

Otherwise known as the day from hell.

Got picked up by car at the hotel to go to Gorontalo at 8pm. THere was the driver, 4 adults and 3 children in a 6 passenger seat car. luckly I had window seat. The Family were very friendly, as was the "single" guy who was inviting me to hotel within 1 minute. Yes, all the english he spoke was basic courtship....so 9 hours later, burnt arm and sunstroke later I arrive in gorontalo.

To be told there is no ferry friday, instead I had to take ferry to Pagimana (12 hour) car to Ampana (6 hour), ferry to Wakai 6-8 hour to get to the togians. I stumbled to the supermarket for a bit of bread to take with my maleria tablet and feel into a disbeliving and dejected coma!
