bangka island ---> part I

chapter one: the embarkment 
the sunrise from our living room window
palembang's boom baru harbor
bye bye palembang!  the journey was about three hours.  we left the harbor at 7:15 or so and settled nicely into the executive lounge.  they seemed to have overbooked the boat so the aisles were soon filled with plastic chairs and more people but it was okay.  the people on either side of me slept.  i went out to the back and enjoyed the brown musi river.  we entertained ourselves by making shadow puppets.
beyond the boat's crackly window pane is muntok harbor.  we've arrived!
