Thursday 18th

Added to site: Mar 18

Early morning drive to Teluk dalam wharf to find no small ferry going to Tello today BUT there is a very large vehicle and people ferry leaving from the main wharf in 1/2 an hour. That barely gave me enough time to drive to Stella Maris hospital and find the official driver Solly to drive me to the main wharf. This new service of a ferry about 70 metres long capable of taking several vehicles is running regularly on Thursday from teluk Dalam to Tello and returns on Friday.It is an inexpensive and safer option than the small boats, not that I have heard of a single sinking or fatality on the smaller ferry boats .

The big ferry takes about an hour less than the small boats and soon Melioni and I were on Pulau Tello and after a short refreshment stop at Fitri's restaurant (Rumah Makan) we were at the Beng Hong house and soon on the way to a house call to a 24 year old lady suffering severe post natal depression after her first baby.
