Raja Ampat is a mecca for diving and snorkelling. This is where we stayed and how we got there
Motoring our way to Indos Homestay from Waisai
We had eight great days at Indos, staying in the middle bungalow. The snorkelling was fantastic
A pair of squid by the bungalow on our first morning. Raja Ampat is famed for its marine life
Meals were served at our bungalow. These were our favourite staff
Visiting Piaynemo on a day trip from Indos
One of countless tiny islands in Raja Ampat
We entered this marine lake via a low arch that joined it to the sea (top) and then snorkelled with jellyfish
Plenty of beautiful empty islands for lunch stops while touring
Our guides made a hermit crab tree

One of many spectacular sunsets viewed from our bungalow at Indos
We had ten nights at fabulous Nyande Homestay. The house reef and diving operation were exceptional
Each afternoon all the guests gathered for sunset and drinks at the end of the jetty
Even more special than the sunsets were Jay Jay and Meg....
...and Nero. The dogs were fine company and spent many hours with us on our porch

Thanks to Nero, poor Meg had major parenting duties
Our Nyande bungalow
Nearly one puppy for each guest!
This Waigeou cuscus was spotted (haha) behind our bungalow
A funky jetty at a nearby village
One of many stunning Nyande sunsets viewed from the end of the jetty
Nyande was spectacular even in the rain
Having heard stories of past drownings, Jacqueline gave the puppies some swim training
But she couldn't save these two from being taken away to new homes
Our neighbour Oliver comforted poor Meg as she watched her two babies being taken away
