Watching the Waves Go By

The biggest Indonesian city east of Java and the gateway to eastern Indonesia, Makassar is a sprawling city of 1.5 million.  Yet surprisingly, the city centre is an oasis of calm and tranquility with straight roads, pavements not overcrowded with street vendors, and where one chill and watch the waves go by.

Charming neighbourhood where Jeremiah's hotel was located

Jalan Somba Opu, which is populated by over 30 jewellery shops at last count

Generally big ships are more sea-worthy than smaller ones.  Not this one though.
