My experience in Fiji ( i doubt Indonesia is better) is that you don't want to count on local ships if you need to be someplace on time. Once in Fiji they rerouted a ferry boat to go pick up some fish leaving dozens of people waiting at the dock for a ship that never came.

hey maksih Zippsy.

i just got an email from someone that works for Pelni, they wrote and said there is no schedule set for November yet. But your information will give me an idea of the prices and if your dates are correct that will give me 19 days on my favourite island Bunaken.

What does Netral mean???

God I cant wait to get to Indonesia lagi.........

Netral - neither male or female apparently. I forgot to delete it when cutting & pasting. Have fun. Sampai jumpa lagi.
