Paradise on earth - Togean Islands
If you haven't been to PARADISE yet, I can tell you one very interesting place, it's not far away, just some 13 thousand kilometers from Ukraine and it takes a long time to get there . If you are tired of the bustle, the benefits of civilization, the Internet, TV, news and dream of getting to a deserted island and feeling like even a little Robinson, then you are in Indonesia, namely the Togean Islands.
This archipelago consists of 56 small islands in the Malluk Sea near Sulawesi
To get here, you need to make four flights, then ride a bus all night along serpentine roads to the city of Ampana, and then 3 hours on a boat and here it is, the edge of the land of Togeana! The island is located 30 km from the equator, near a large barrier reef,
Australia is a forty-minute flight away, there is no internet, no phone reception, no TV and no electricity at all, and people live like they did thousands of years ago. They fish, they grow rice, they drink coconut milk, they smile, they sing, they are in no hurry and put off everything for tomorrow.
Tomorrow here is the same as yesterday and the day before. The concept of an hour in these places is very conditional. All life is like one long hot day with the smell of cloves and ginger. Zen hung in the air. Paradise for nervous and tired Europeans.
Our hotel is still called Paradise (paradise). On our island Kadidiri is civilization. There's a generator here
which managers run from 6 pm to 12 am. There is a tree on which the connection of the local operator is periodically caught, a box hangs on this tree, everyone can put phones in it to receive SMS. And the owners are also trying to keep up with the times and keep up with civilization, they have a terminal for cashless payments. You will be put in a boat and you will sail into the sea to a certain place where there is a connection. When the connection catches, everyone unanimously gives their plastic cards and the collection of money and payment for drinking begins.
Life in paradise is cheap, on average $15-25 depending on the season per day per person with food and accommodation, there are no shops here, there is a tiny little room in the restaurant where you can buy water, beer, cigarettes and something else you need.

Reception, aka diving center
There are numbers deep in the island
To each the house has a beautiful path
We stayed in rooms overlooking the water surface
In the depths a herd of domestic goats lives on the island
They are in paddock, that's why they don't drive around the island
There is a tennis court, but I didn't see anyone playing there
There is a desktop tennis
On the island very green and beautiful
Everything is full of flowers
The island is full of entertainment. Do you want to dive with fins and a mask, watch, take pictures of fish and corals on the reefs, do you want to dive, do you want to fish or go to the jungle. And if you ask, they will take you to a deserted island or to sea gypsies who live in bungalows on the water.
Let's go to guests to the gypsies
They have cloves are dried everywhere, where do they get them?
The smell is fantastic!
But there is satellite dish
Here we are bought lobsters
Well, as for relaxation on the island, for example, we got into such prostration,
when you really don’t know the date and day of the week, for example, my husband was so lost in time that a month earlier, in all seriousness, he congratulated me on my birthday.

This holiday is our reward for such a crazy and insane trekking in the mountains of Popua.
