Back at my favorite coffee shop at Terminal 2. Had some late night snack , yummy coffee and a really good tiramisu. Too bad they don’t have a branch outside of the airport.

Discovering Kri
20 April 2019, Indonesia
Kri really is paradise on earth. There are a few homestays on the island and one resort, but generally accommodation is very basic. However, you are rewarded with beautiful sandy beaches, palm treesBaca selengkapnya

Lumba Lumba Guesthouse which is the only homestay on the other side of Kri also has some amazing corals and fish which you can enjoy while snorkeling during high tide.

Yenbuba Village
21 April 2019, Indonesia
On our second day, our host took us on a trip to Yenbuba village where we also snorkeled. The village is very peaceful, the few people who we encountered seemed very happy to see us.
Yenbuba Jetty
21 April 2019, Indonesia
Apparently, Jenbuba Jetty is one of the best snorkeling spots in Raja Ampat. I'd definately say so!
Lazy afternoon
21 April 2019, Indonesia
After having lunch and spending at least some time in our hammocks, Philippe and I went to Yenkoranu Homestay hoping to get a cold Bintang.... fat chance. I went for a walk instead and Philipp workedBaca selengkapnya
Another boat trip

On our third day, Dani took us to the Manta Point, but unfortunately we didn't get to see any. The place itself was still beautiful and the way ther and to the following places was fun aswell.

On our last morning on Kri I went snorkeling at Yenkoranu Jetty one last time and said goodbye to everybody at our homestay. I sure missed them the next couple of days...
Moving
23 April 2019, Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 30 °C
Dani and two of his sons took us to our next destination, Hamu Eco Lodge, about 10 km away from Waisai, where we immediately enjoyed a fresh water shower and the beautiful view.
Snorkeling at Hamu Eco
23 April 2019, Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 30 °C
Snorkeling at Hamu Eco was not comparable to snorkeling around Kri, there were fewer fish and the visibility wasn't as good, but it was still fun and the coral gardens were very nice as well.
First evening at Hamu Eco
23 April 2019, Indonesia
Went for an evening stroll along the beach. What a beautiful setting.

Bird watching

Piaynemo View Point and Star lagoon
26 April 2019, Indonesia

Snorkeling at Arborek village
26 April 2019, Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

Back at Yenbuba Jetty
26 April 2019, Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 28 °C
We were really happy to return to Yenbuba Jetty which is most likely the bet snorkeling spot around Kri.
