Planning a
holiday in a region that covers the same distance as
London to Moscow is quite daunting. However we hope even
merely reading about your options will afford you a
certain Pleasure. As well as whetting your appetite for
this amazing diversity of people and places.
One thing is worth remembering however, and that’s the
fact that island hopping in Indonesia is not only
extremely pleasurable, it’s also inexpensive.
A holiday in Indonesia can be tailored to fit your
personal tastes and budget exactly.
Before providing you with some general information on
travel in Indonesia. Here is an additional collection of
destinations which you may like to consider before you
talk to your travel agent.
Maluku
The legendary “spice island” of Indonesia were fought
over for centuries by Europeans cloves and nutmeg which
they needed to both preserve their meat and fill their
national coffer. A vast scattering of tiny island in a
tempestuous volcanic “ring of fire” they are a
fascinating destinations for traveler in search of the
unusual. Key Island is Ambon, the tiny island of Ternate
where the Sultan’s Palace has been transformed into a
museum. And the Banda Island where today you’ll still
find remnants of Banda’s “golden age” is including old
forts and marble floored mansions. Banda’s Coral Sea
gardens should also be on your agenda and if you’re
really looking for a beautiful souvenir, the pottery of
the tiny island of Tayanda near Irian Jaya is all made
by hand and simply beautiful.
One of the largest of the Maluku spice island is the
island of Halmahera which also boasts a giant clove tree
which is 360 years old and side to be the ancestor of
all clove trees in the world.
Irian Jaya
Walk back in time through spectacular scenery into the
primitive world of Irian Jay. A remarkable land of
coastal swamp, highland river valleys, evens a glacier
high in a central mountain. Jayapura is the capital of
the easternmost province, lake Sentani affords
magnificent scenery and in Biak you can watch young men
dive for pearls
Wamena in the Baliem valley is a special destination for
those with a taste for adventure. For his is the home of
the ferocious looking though friendly Dani tribesmen
adorned with the traditional “koteka” or penis gourd.
Worth acquiring in Irian Jaya is some of the wonderful
“primitive” woodcarving of the artistic Asmat people who
live along the remote southeast coast.
