I arrive at Banda on Friday 7th August. Banda is, of course, the original spice island. The Dutch came here in the 1700s to corner the market in nutmeg, mace, cinnamon and cloves. They wanted the locals to know who was boss so they slaughtered 14,000 of the 15,000 inhabitants. Well, that showed them.

There are a couple of very good resturaunts here, a confused market, some great tours and much fun among the rally fleet. We do a Spice Tour, an Indonesian cooking course and more.

I am going to miss the next couple of rally destinations and skip ahead a bit - some of the timtable is a bit too tight.
