I like Monkeys
19 December 2013 | Komodo National Park, Indonesia
ALH
Here is a picture of one of the many Monkeys we saw. An excuse to put another anchorage marker on the map. We really like the moorings available in the park. Its not often you find such good strong equipment -- anywhere. A real comfort. People who haven't cruised on a boat much won't appreciate how much time and effort goes into minding the boat. The park service here has put in a large number of mooring all over the park, which you are free to grab on a first come first serve basis. They are cost free, other than your park admission. The park admission is not very expensive--but its very Indonesian, and very annoying. You have to buy a ticket for the boat which is 100,000 Rp (about 8 bucks), then one ticket for each person, 40,000 Rp each. Then you have to buy a ticket for each camera on board at 50,000 rp each (Its more Rp for professional gear, and more for video). Then you have to buy tickets to snorkel, separate tickets to scuba dive, separate tickets to walk on land, and tickets for local tax at some of the places you visit. Who knows what it all added up to, but it wasn't much--just confusing and annoying. The tickets are only good for three days, then you have to do it all over again!
