I got my sister on the phone today and it made me wonder... I was telling her I was once more in between some Indonesian islands and I realised that with the distance she was imagining some kind of exotic islands. If it were Lombok or Komodo as a tourist it could be the case but the Riau Islands have nothing exotic and it is difficult to explain how unattractive those 'industrial' places can be. And when you go to places for work, it rarely is as good as when you go as a tourist anyway. The rare moments that can make you dream a bit are those overloaded inter-islands ferries especially at dusk or at dawn as you can see from the picture above.
