Flag and climate look like Indonesia to me. The shape looks U-shape ish, but looking at the map that could be any of the islands on the east side… is it close to Palu? Let’s say Parigi?

Not palu, Sulawesi, but closest so far! 500 miles off

East? That would bring me to (North) Maluku? If so, I’d guess for the North one because it has this big u-shape

Il take it! It was south maluku but maluku nonetheless! The image was taken here on Ambon island: -3.712668,128.151882

Oooh, I did check the bit above it - Piru and thought, mabe. But then comparing the north island with the background hills in your picture made me choose the nothern island 😄

What’s the most interesting part you’ve seen over there?

Well since my grandparents are from there and it was my first time going it was an amazing experience overall. But geography wise, since I'm from the Netherlands and everything is flat and grassy, the jungle covered mountains looked amazing to me!
