Time to dream

Who said that dreams should necessarily be about the future? Sometimes it's just a return at some point in the past. Sometimes it happens that it seems to you that many events were not with you. As if in another life. This was so surprising. This is quite possible to dream)



One such is the region of western Papua related to Indonesia. It is called Raja-Ampat, and consists of several groups of islands. Places there are pretty wild. Most of the islands are uninhabited. Only occasionally there are villages, eco-hotels and pearl farms. Otherwise, only the safari yachts violate the tropical idyll.



It is interesting that small islands are mostly volcanic and represent "monuments" sticking out of the water. The water undermines them from below, so the walls are steep, if worse. And it's not easy to get into such an even small island.

But the view opening from the top, just stunning. Because of it, tourists are ready for anything. Even for an illegal invasion. The fact is that these islands belong to the law of local tribes. And they are very upset that the government does not share with them the revenues from the tourism business in the region. a rather complicated story, as a result of which landed and climbed to the top simply banned.

Raja Ampat

Agree with the local, almost useless - they all speak different dialects and are very stubborn. On this ascent is not quite legal. They take advantage of the fact that parts of the archipelago are uninhabited, and there is no one there.



But you will agree - the beauty is unreal, especially for our worn out long winter look. What a pity that you can not be on top during sunset or dawn. It should be just enchanting. But unfortunately it is impossible to spend the night there (at least there is simply nowhere - around one sharp rocks). And to climb at dusk is very dangerous ...
