our Togutil guide

the party before the expedition to the island of Ternate

filling up with petrol...

...the first stretch of road...still passable...

Green rice field with palms, small hut and mountains under clouds

here it starts to be a little less passable

Red car at muddy forest river crossing, a motorcyclist waiting on far bank

and now the adventure begins!!!

Mother with two children beneath a stilt house in jungle

and now we start to go in...with the machete!!

Red dirt path through dense tropical vegetation, two people walking in the distance

Two people walking on a muddy path through dense tropical rainforest

this stretch of water was both for wading and for drinking!!

a good tea!

the kitchen

our dinner...

...cooked with a rudimentary pressure cooker

the bridge over the river

Tourists and guide balance across a fallen log over the muddy river
