Bouwsteen Banda 6 dagen met Pelni boot
De Banda eilanden, een eilandengroep met een interessante geschiedenis. Vroeger een van de meest belangrijke plaatsen van Indonesië want hier groeide de nootmuskaat. Tot op heden zijn de invloeden van de koloniale tijd zichtbaar.
Ook staat deze eilandengroep bekend om haar prachtige onderwaterwereld. Snorkelen en duiken zijn echte aanraders! Met deze bouwsteen kunt u uw eigen programma van dag tot dag samenstellen. Houdt u van rust, dan plant u een paar dagen vrij. Wilt u graag alles zien wat de eilanden te bieden hebben dan is dat ook mogelijk.
Eens per twee weken, op zaterdagen, vaart de Pelni rederij met de Nggapulu boot in circa 8 uur van Ambon naar Banda, om 5 dagen later in omgekeerde richting koers te zetten. De Pangrango boot doet 14 uur over de route en gaat ongeveer 1 keer per 5 dagen heen en weer. Het blijft dus altijd puzzelen...
NB: Het toerisme staat hier nog in de kinderschoenen. Houdt u er rekening mee dat er wijzigingen kunnen optreden.

History
Until the mid-18th century, the Banda Islands were the only known place in the world where the spices nutmeg and mace were grown. The Dutch conquered the islands in the 17th century to control the production of nutmeg and mace. At that time, nutmeg was very profitable in Europe. It was part of plague quack remedies, and a monopoly was very lucrative.The local population was massacred by the Dutch in 1621 under the leadership of Jan Pieterszoon Coen, and replaced by slaves from Madagascar and Indians. Fort Belgica on Banda Neira, one of the fortresses built by the VOC, is the largest European fort in Indonesia.
Another fun fact: At the time, 'The Netherlands owned almost the entire Banda archipelago. Only the island of Pulau Run belonged to England. In 1667, the Netherlands exchanged the island with the English against the colony of New Amsterdam, now New York ...
Violent religious strife broke out in 1999, which dealt a serious blow to tourism. One of the last perkeniers on Banda was Wim van den Broeke, who lived on the island of Lonthor, also known as Banda Besar. Both Prince Bernhard and former minister Pronk visited him. The van den Broeke family owned five nutmeg plantations, of which Groot Waling on Lonthar is the oldest. A large part of the van den Broeke family died during the religious disputes.
