Our first view of Sumatra!
Sumatra looks so jungly, mountainy and volcanoey… can’t wait to get down there!
Aceh from the air… so flat you can see why the tsunami caused such devastation here
A lot of rebuilding is still in progress, especially in the area leading to the new port
A huge ship that got washed kilometres inland with the wave
The river, where the port used to be; pre-tsunami
The main part of the mosque was one of the few buildings that survived intact
Outside the mosque
An upside down / circular rainbow?!
At the (hugely overpriced) hotel. NGO presence in the city means prices have rocketed
Hanging out at the hotel
A busy and very friendly city. Felt like superstars walking about town as everyone calls out to say hello. Didn’t know quite what to expect, but there’s a good vibe here.
