Dr Nancy Priston

I finally finished with all the bureaucracy here in Jakarta and am now fully equipped with a valid research visa, a research permit, a police permit, a permit from the Ministry of internal affairs and a forestry permit! What a palava!

So now it’s farewell Jakarta

And hello two plane trips ….to Kendari, the capital of south-east Sulawesi

Then a meal and a night in Kendari before the boat ride to the island of Buton

And it’s hello Buton!

So now it’s a 3 to 4 hour drive to the village of La Bundo Bundo where I’ll be staying. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a phone signal somewhere near the village so I can keep posting updates 🙂
