We had no plans to tour
sights on Lombock Island. Our port is 12 km. from the nearest town and most of the
sights were even farther. The fun part of the day was seeing the crew’s
families come aboard, this would continue for the next two ports. Most of the
staff are Indonesian in their early 30s so the kids and wife come aboard, often
with parents. The crew members give them a tour of the ship, take pictures, and
talk. When we get to Jakarta our waiter is going to visit his home for a couple
of hours. Given that the crew works for eight months on and four months off,
having a visit to an Indonesian port is special.
