Let's festival!

Or at least almost. There's a big culture festival at the Togeans every year. This time the location was Wakai, the main village. Of course I wanted to check out the happenings but at the end I spent only around 2 hours there mainly eating. Sometimes it's good to be a “bule” as you get offered stuff to eat what's not really meant for visitors.

During the festival the tourism office of Central Sulawesi organized a two days tour for photographers around the islands. Lucky me I had the chance to join them and to visit some spots I haven't been to before. First day we left at 3 am to Kabalutan, a bajo village in the north. We arrived by sunrise, what a view! Afterwards we visited a few other bajo villages and had a swim and sunset at Karina beach. Fantastic day without any sleep.

Next day we did a similar tour to the south, with the exception that we let around 8 am. After the tour the jury was presented the best photos and they chose a winner in human interest and landscape categories. I was feeling a bit sick so I had to go to sleep before the announced the winner so I still don't know who won. But surely not me, I think so much I would know by now. No matter what happened with the competition, I had two really fantastic days with a bunch of funny crazy photographers mainly from Palu. And on the way we catched a pretty big tuna, which I claimed for me :) Food for Hulopi family for a few days :)

Yes, there's my name inside the tuna!

Ok keep that one.

Pulau Papan. Preeeettyyy!
