Molana, a hidden gem in the Banda sea

Molana is a hidden gem located south in the Moluccans, Indonesia. Other than a website there is not much is to be found about this island online, But after a few WhatsApps, and paying the deposit we surrendered ourselfs to the hope that it would all work out.

We were welcomed by a lady called Betty. She was a very interesting character, full of laughter, wearing a Chelsea shirt she was awaiting us at the airport. She didn’t have any front teeth left in her mouth, and Alessa and I wondered how she managed to bite in any kind of food, but yeah that’s not important to this story. They brought us to a small harbour village at the East side of Ambon.
