a trip to rote

Rote island. It is unfamiliar for me when i came to that place1,5 years ago to lived. My husband works as a government employee in the resident office. But time passed by and rote has become my second hometown now. In the morning the road is still sleepy, you just can find 1 or 2 motorcycles.Women go down to Ba'a market carrying on their baskets full of different vegetables to be sold out. On the road as they passed we can called  them and buy   all that we need.

It's surprised for me coz its cheaper than in ende. For a family with a small number, only with a thousand, we can    prepare lunch and dinner. You can get some fresh fish in Ba'a market with price 10000 for 2 days. or 5000 and 20000 depend on the type of fish. For better type u can buy it with 20000-50000. Better type better taste. And the seller mostly women than men.

To go to rote  expecially from ende we have to on boat 2 times, because there is no direct trip to rote. We have to transit in kupang and go on to rote. There are 3 alternatives we can choose, by boat that consist of two, pelni boat and bahari Express, and also by plane. From all of that 3 choices, of course by plane is the expensive one, and it makes trip by plane become rare. So boat become the primary transportation mode to connect Rote Ndao to Kupang. Pelni boat carry all the goods in and out to Rote Ndao, while Bahari Express is a Boat Passenger.

Seewed is one bussiness  opportunity that can be done in Rote Ndao. Many farmers have better life after produce it. The crash crops, can be an export commodity and of course it can be one interesting alternative to start a small bussiness with a small capital.
