Manado VACATION and STORM

January 1st we took a LIONAIR flight from Jkt to Manado We: Ake, Omi, Ezra, Febby, Ewaldo and Elyshia

Note: Ewaldo came with the last flight......

On the 2nd of January we chertered a mokrolet.....

...visited TONDANO

at Opa SAM RATULANGIE's grave

We brought a small vase with flowers

I lacked energy to visit the statue

Back at the family house

On Januay 4th it was DIVING day

Everyone ready? Om Angki watched,

LOSS of OUR JETTY, OUR PRIDE and ENJOYMENT

About 2 years ago, don't worry- be happy.....

After the storm on the 9th January evening whilst in the morning Ewaldo returned to Jakarta I found out that the most northern part of the jetty had stranded on the shore below of our kitchen window.... man-man-man that sure was a powerful wave to make that destruction......

Many more waves came also other strong waves that moved the "KONTIKI" to another place on the shore still

THE DRAMA BELOW OUR KITCHEN WINDOW

The KONTIKI.......

next morning the KONTIKI had moved to this location

from its old location the day before.....

other remnants of the broken jetty.....

We discussed and our staff had a KERJA BAKTI session and obtained some bonus to dismantle the ex-jetty (because it was good, strong wood) and carry the wood uphill right below my laundry section.

Dedi removes the cable and lamps

Later we will tidy it up

This is how it looks from the resto
