Makassar, arrivée en Sulawesi !
2018年11月2日, インドネシア ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Après 24h de voyage depuis Seoul et 2 longues escales, nous arrivons à Makassar la principale ville du Sulawesi, grande ile du nord de l’Indonésie. Nous retrouvons notre moiteur sud asiatique préférée avec un beau 39 degrés ressentis en sortant de l’avion. Boum.

Après s’être bien reposés et en attendant notre bus de nuit pour aller au Nord, on part se balader et voir LE point d’intérêt de la ville, à savoir le Fort Rotterdam, bastion principal en Sulawesi des Hollandais (et oui l’Indonésie était une colonie hollandaise, on l’oublie trop vite !). Bon au final ça n’a très peu d’intérêt.

On sort un peu dépités mais tout de suite on se fait alpaguer par un Tuk Tuk et la bonté/pitié de Marie fait qu’on a accepté et comme deux bons touristes on s’est fait balader… Mais c’était super !! Il nous a emmené dans des quartiers insoupçonnés et surtout au port traditionnel où on a pu voir les activités quotidiennes, rencontrer des marins, des enfants… c’était CANON !

On est tellement content d’être de retour en Asie du Sud Est, on se sent un peu à la maison, tout est facile, les gens sont sympas, il fait beau et chaud… Et puis les indonésiens sont tellement sympas, des grands sourires, des « Hello Mister » (meme pour Marie…) qui fusent toutes les 30 secondes… On adore !

Le soir après être allé dans un resto italien prendre du courage avant d’affronter la terrible nourriture indonésienne, on part prendre notre bus de nuit tout confort pour rejoindre le Pays Toraja plus au nord…

On vous embrasse fort !もっと詳しく

Makassar Chinatown
2019年7月11日, インドネシア ⋅ 24 °C
I knew that there wasn’t much sightseeing to be done in Makassar, and, with my flight to Bali being in the evening, I wanted a centrally located hotel with a pool. Citadines Royal Bay fit this bill perfectly. My plan was to enjoy my room as much as possible, check out around 11am, store my bag at reception, do a round of sightseeing, and return to the hotel to cool off in the pool.

My first stop that morning was Chinatown. I walked to the requisite Chinatown gate, looked around a bit, and thought to myself that this was the quietest Chinatown I have ever been in. There wasn’t any of the usual bustle one associates with a Chinatown. In fact, many shops were shuttered. I was a little disappointed because I’m always interested in seeing how Chinese immigrants the world over live their lives.

Paotere Harbor & Fish Market
2019年7月11日, インドネシア ⋅ 28 °C
As I departed Chinatown, a rickshaw driver swung by. His name was Mido and he was an engaging chap. He encouraged me to go to Paotere Harbor. He even told me he didn’t care how much I paid him, just as long as he could feed himself. So, I hopped onto his rickety contraption, and he pedaled the 2km to Paotere.

Our first stop was the seafood market, which was everything a seafood market should be - bustling, loud, and smelly. Mido then took me to the port where there were a number of Bugis boats. I watched as sacks of cement (unfortunately transliterated to “semen” in Indonesian), and other goods got loaded onto one of the boats. While I was there, my mind wandered to the 1970s documentary Ring of Fire, in which two brothers hitched a ride on a Bugis pinisi to the eastern islands. Their narrative of that voyage was quite fascinating. Incidentally, it is widely believed that “boogeyman” was derived from “Bugis” because of their reputation as fierce pirates.

After Paotere, Mido pedaled me to Fort Rotterdam. There, we parted ways and I gave him enough cash for a few meals.

Fort Rotterdam
2019年7月11日, インドネシア ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Fort Rotterdam was modest in comparison to the grandiose Spanish-built structures I visited in the Caribbean. There was a museum - La Galigo - on Fort Rotterdam’s grounds, but, sadly, it didn’t have much information on what I was most interested in: the fort, its history, battles fought, and everyday life for those charged with defending it. There were, however, informative exhibits on the coastal and seagoing cultures of the area. Overall, I was a little underwhelmed.

My next goal was to try and sample one of the dishes Makassar is famous for - ikan bakar or grilled fish. I made a beeline for Lae Lae - Lonely Planet’s recommended food choice. There, I savored a small snapper and vegetables. After lunch, I walked along the Losari Beach seafront before heading back to my hotel to savor a few hours at the pool. After that, I headed to the airport for my flight to Denpasar.
