Bira
Bira is a very small place on the most southern tip of West Sulawesi. Besides beautiful beaches and crystal clear water, there's not a lot to do there, but than again this is what makes it interesting. There's a possibility to do some good diving here for experienced divers, but prepare to grab deep in your pockets as they charge 70€ for 2 dives (end 2004). Due to 'Idul Fitri' (Muslim celebration in November) we decided not to go to the nearby islands, judging from Bira and the stories we heard, they must be very interesting.
Further westward on the southern coast in the Bira Cape is Bulukumba, another sea resort 153 kms from the provincial captal. Here visitors can view the building of pinisi schooners and other boats on the white sandy beaches.
very nice :)
