 Maumere to Ujung Pandang - Indonesia - Mark Moxon, Travel Writer
The bus trip from Moni to Maumere, in eastern Flores, went according to plan, and Rainer, Peter and I alighted that evening, booked into a hotel, and hit the local restaurant, where we again bumped into Idit, and a very pleasant Dutch couple who had just landed in Flores.
The reason for my rushing to Maumere was to catch a Pelni to Sulawesi: Pelni is Indonesia's domestic passenger ship service, connecting all the islands for fares that would be laughed at as paltry in Europe.
The 22-hour trip to Ujung Pandang from Maumere cost me 44,000rp (just under £10), but the drawback was that the boat only goes every two weeks, so if I'd missed it, with my 60-day visa, it would have really scuppered my plans: hence the rush to get tickets and to ensure a place.
