Rammang Rammang
felix und ich mussten wieder etwas landluft schnuppern und entschieden uns daher fuer einen spontanen tagesausflug nach RAMMANG RAMMANG (ca. 40km noerdlich von MAKASSAR). es ging also hinein in ein pete pete (kleiner blauer bus, very local!) und ein… zwei… drei… mal umsteigen – ein kleines abenteuer an sich! dabei lernten wir auch das RAMMANG RAMMANG ziemlich schwierig auszusprechen ist und es eher nach RAMMUNG RAMMUNG klingt …das „g“ wird dabei komisch verschluckt. :)
auf dem rueckweg kletterten einige neugierige aeffchen fuer ein letztes “tschuess“ auf den felsen direkt ueber unseren koepfen (felix was not amused!) :) und dann ging es auch schon wieder zurueck in die stadt (MAKASSAR).

felix and I desperately needed some fresh countryside air and so we spontaneously decided to go on a daytrip to RAMMANG RAMMANG (about 40km north of MAKASSAR). we hopped onto a pete pete (shared blue minivan, very local!) and changed to another pete pete one… two… three… times – a little adventure by itself! at the same time we learnt that the right pronunciation of RAMMANG RAMMANG is quite difficult. it sounds more like RAMMUNG RAMMUNG …the “g” is swallowed somehow. :)
about an hour later we reached the river which leads to the idyllic village BERUA. for a few dollars we were shipped up the river and along massive karst mountains, caves, palm trees and co. it was breathtaking! in less than half an hour we stopped at a tiny pier and started hiking into the green. approximately 20 families live in this little paradise and there are still no cars, streets, shops or anything alike. the huts of the families are nicely spread out and we had a great time discovering the area via the little paths. while hiking through the fields we were invited to join two families and enjoyed yummy young coconuts – perfect to fight the heat :)
on our way back some curious monkeys climbed directly above our heads for a last “goodbye” (felix was not amused!) :) …and back to town we went (MAKASSAR).
ungefaehr eine stunde spaeter erreichten wir den fluss der zum idyllischen dorf BERUA fuehrt. fuer ein paar dollar schippte uns ein netter bootsmann flussaufwaerts an riesigen karstfelsen, hoehlen, palmen und co. entlang. traumhaft schoen! nach einer knappen halben stunde stoppten wir an einem kleinen steg und wanderten hinein ins gruen. es leben ca. 20 familien in diesem kleinen paradies und es gibt nach wie vor keine autos, strassen, shops oder aehnliches. die huetten der familien sind gut verstreut und wir konnten auf den kleinen pfaden alles gut erkunden. waehrend unserer erkundungstour wurden wir von zwei familien in ihre bleibe eingeladen um gemeinsam an leckeren kokusnuessen zu schluerfen – perfekt bei 30 grad im schatten. :)
