Nature, calm and pleasure... In North Sulawesi, Indonesia, I set course for a dream island. Its name: Bangka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Halmahera Sulawesi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

March 25, 2013. Here I am at stage 2 of this\u00a0small trip in the Indonesian archipelago<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I take off from Ternate, nearHalmahera<\/a>in the Moluccas, for Manado, North Sulawesi, with Lion Air<\/a>. 50 minute flight, uneventful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I rediscover the beauty of North Sulawesi from the sky. And I'm looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I contacted the Coral Eye<\/a> by e-mail before my departure, I am expected at the airport of Manado. Two young women, Carla and Perla, are waiting for me behind the barrier with a small sign with my name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentations made, we pile up in the car, with the races. I know that it is still necessary approximately one hour of road to join Pantai Surabaya<\/a>The black sandy beach on the northern tip just in front of Bangka Island, where the boat is waiting for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, there are only forty minutes left. Calm sea and big sun. It looks good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"On<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My heart is pounding. I scan the horizon. I can't wait to see the island again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MY island for a few days... \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A beach, a pontoon, the coral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the end, happiness comes down to a few things... \ud83d\ude09 An island. A beach. A pontoon over the coral and the gentle murmur of the surf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bangka<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ah, Bangka Island! I had already let go<\/a>, on this island, three years ago. I am determined to reoffend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I give you below my mini 360\u00b0 realized with the iPhone, with the nice application Dermandar<\/a>. I missed the horizon connections a little, but it's nice anyway (click on it to rotate it as you like and preferably choose the 1024 resolution at the bottom right of the frame) :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
