Pulau Penuba (2)

Around the island

I managed to find two main roads in the island of Penuba (Pulau Selayar) . One goes along the south coast from Penuba to Tanjong Dua. The other is more intersting and it goes through the middle of the island from Penuba to a kampung on the shore of the beach on the north overlooking Pulau Lingga.
The road goes up and down the hilly interior of the island. There are a few weird places with strange earth formations and puddles that looked sulphuric but did not smell like it.




Steep!



This is really weird...




The beach in the north

This is a really beautiful beach in the north of Pulau Selayar facing Pulau Lingga and straight out of National Geographic...
As there is no road from the kampung to Tanjung Dua I walked over via the beach, courtesy of the low tide.



No shops in the kampung. Asked a guy to help me get a coconut from the tree as I was totally dehydrated. He gave me two: one to drink, one to eat. Look at the husk-spoon! Fucking clever.
