For years I've looked at this picture taken on Tidore Island looking across to Ternate Island wondering what storms this fragile looking little jetty has seen and how long it has stood. Im kind of glad I will never know - the secrets run deep in the spice islands.
The Portugese Fort on the hill behind was aimed at the Dutch Fort on Ternate Island - has this little bridge seen pirates and the death of the spice trade? Isn't it nice to know there are still parts of this earth less travelled :)
