 During
the struggle for Indonesian independence, the first Indonesian
President, Soekarno, was once exiled by the Dutch colonial government
for four years to Ende Flores (from 1934 to 1938). Upon his arrival
here, Soekarno did not have any place to stay. After staying in a house
near Port Ende, he then looked for a rented house facing east.
Soekarno then found a Dutch house occupied by Haji Abdulah Ambuwaru. In
this house, Soekarno lived for four years. In 1954, when Soekarno
became the Indonesian President, he officially inaugurated this house as
a museum. This house is now called Rumah Soekarno.
This house
has two bedrooms, a living room and an office. In the back of the house
is a room previously used by Soekarno for meditation and several rooms
for maids. In the back yard is a well, which is still working today.
During his exile here, Soekarno painted and wrote several plays such as Dokter Setan (Satanic Doctor).

Somewhere in the eastern waters of Indonesia, between the Aru and Kei Islands to the east, and Timor Island to the west, are strings of islands with light blue outlines, known as the Tanimbar Islands or the Tanimbars. These islands are composed of 65 small islands which form part of the province of Maluku (Moluccas). Some of the named ones are Fordate, Larat, Molu, Maru, Wotap, Wuliaru, Selu, Sera, Selaru, and the largest one is Yamdena.
Sailing from Darwin, Australia towards the Banda Sea with Bandaneira or Ambon as your main destination, then Saumlaki
on the densely wooded Island of Yamdena, is your first stop in the
Indonesian waters to process your Immigration and Customs formalities,
and to refresh your stamina. Saumlaki is the largest town in the
Tanimbars. The town is growing where Christian missionaries’ influences
can be found everywhere.
The port of Saumlaki is on the south
coast of Yamdena. The western part of the island is still swampy and
less hilly compared to its east side. Layers of coastal houses look
peaceful as a towering large façade of the town’s church stands among
lush trees. Two thirds of Tanimbarese are Catholics and Protestants. The
remainder are Moslems, Buddhists, and animism believers.
Past travelers have warned that the
locals are less hospitable than those on Maluku. As a near isolated
region of Maluku, the Tanimbars still push themselves to improve their
limited facilities and services. The town of Saumlaki itself is built
around a single main street flanked by Chinese shophouses.
Visited by the Dutch in 1629 and claimed
in 1639 under the right of discovery, the Tanimbars are, nonetheless,
less influenced by colonialism, except by persistent missionaries.
Although the islands do not have many attractions, yet adventurers may
find them historically interesting.
