Day 81:After a 3-day wait board a ship to Bougainville. I'm over the moon I'll reach the final destination of my 28,000km no-fly trip emitting the lowest possible amount of CO2.I want to know I did all I possibly could to prevent climate breakdown.I enjoy the beauty of the sunset one last time. 96/

I slow travel mainly to reduce my carbon footprint (by 10 times according to available estimates: see https://ourworldindata.org/travel-carbon-footprint ) but also to experience travel as most people in this world do.

We reach Rabaul after 4 days of navigation over the Bismarck Sea. I am now docked at the Kute shipping quay for how many days I don't know yet. The good thing is that there's a new company covering the last stretch of my journey, from Rabaul to Buka, Bougainville. I'll just have to wait for the time the ship is ready to depart. In the meantime, I watch at slave-like work of a group of men downloading copra from a cargo ship and uploading it on trucks delivering it on local markets. They tell me they get the equivalent of €2 for every ton of copra downloaded, to be divided among a team of 6. Slavery I said.

Day 75-78: Conditions are not exactly first class on the vessel taking me from Lae to Rabaul: There's no couchette and no shower room. However, people leave me some space to roll out my 2-inch mattress on the floor (I'm the only one onboard except for crew members enjoying this luxury), so I get some rest. All other passengers sleep crammed on the floor or on the seats. For washing we rely on the "bucket system" in small cabin rooms that get constantly flooded with (rather filthy) water. Surely I'm a white fly on board and everyone wants to speak with me. In spite of this and the breathtaking view of the sunset, I get on with my work...

Day 75-78: I don't think I'll ever see as much as beauty as in these breath-taking sunsets over the Bismarck Sea. They fall gently like leaves caressed by an autumn breeze.

They are an utmost pleasure in my 4- day 1,100km ferry trip from Lae to Rabaul. Conditions are not exactly first class on the vessel: there's no couchette and no shower room.

I am very proud of my newly bought solar power generator and I use it straightaway on my makeshift office space at the upper deck of the ship taking me to Jakarta. The sunset over the Java sea is, however, a big distraction for my overdue essay...

It's a very short boat ride the one from Singapore to Batam, Indonesia. But it's really a springboard from the globalised, motorised, and carbonised part of the world to the Global South. I have already travelled about 14,000km to come here without taking airplanes and I truly savour the crossing of this physical but most importantly cultural boundary between North and South.

The taxi that takes me to the embarkment to Jakarta travels through bumpy roads, which turn into dirt road at the very access to the Pelni (the Indonesian national ferry company) departure point. I am torn between accepting the offer of porters to carry my luggage or carrying it myself. It's little money for me and a lot of money for them. I opt for carrying it myself, as I am short of Indonesian cash and I perceive porters' requests as bordering extortion. I travel 3rd class, because I want to stay as close as possible to the travelling conditions of most travellers. I get a bed in one of the many sleeping halls provided on the ship. A mattress is provided, although it's better not to think of the last time it has been washed. I must say sleeping is hard. People talk loudly throughout the night and kids cry loud. However, I am so tired that I sleep tight. As usual, I am woken up at 4am by the call to the Islamic morning prayer.

Pretty cool to be reading the section on "The Polis" in the City Reader (I am doing some catchup/ broader reading on urban classics more generally for my new job) while cruising through the same waters and seeing the same mountainuous terrain that the classical sources quoted in the section describe 😎🤓.
