An area of dramatic limestone islets formed by ancient tectonic shifts and erosion they form karsts in the geological landscape here. A popular tourist hot spot for obvious reasons.

Up about 250 steps to a viewing platform.

We saw many sailing ships anchored here and they are special. In 2017 UNESCO designated Pinisi boatbuilding in South Sulawesi to be on the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

Recognising the centuries old techniques used by shipbuilders connecting Indonesia’s past with its present. Each build was unique made with traditional tools and used as long ago as the 12th century. Each piece joined by wooden pegs not nails. Different woods used for different parts and the sails just spectacular in size and shape.

I know my sister would enjoy sailing these waters in a sailing boat of such beauty.
