Banda Cemeteries  After much bimbling and following a hand
drawn map we finally found the Christian Cemetery, Bear asked directions from the man on the bike as to where the Muslim
Cemetery was and he thinks he can get us there next.
  From over the wall things looked in a poorly way.
  Once through the gap in the
wall things looked no better.
 We fought our way through some greenery and
found an area looking more respectable.
  Andarias was
kept in good order.
 Someone had laid
flowers a couple of days ago at this grave.
   Then a sad story. Dora gave birth on the 17th of January 1963 and died the
following day, baby Johana followed just eighteen
weeks later.
 As we walked down the road we saw some very
old resting places of the wealthy. Near the edge has become a bit of an
allotment.
 The sign for the Muslim
Cemetery.
  We found things in better
order.
  On the left a big
family plot in purple.
   Many graves were
tiled.
 Some had visiting
chickens.
 Some were protected by gazebos and
behind them a massive arrangement in green.
 After our bimble around the Muslim
Cemetery we headed back the way we had come, the route we took saw us at the far
side of the Christian Cemetery. Over the wall we could see a
fine pillar.
  A little further on we could make out the a
middle name of Martin, kept company by a chicken,
sadly lots of rubbish.
 Several large
memorials.
  Finally, an old Dutch
grave from 1836. We did our best to find the Chinese Cemetery but after
ending up back where we had started we gave up and headed for the
Fort.
