Obsession is a bit long to settle in the heart to re-enjoy the scenic beauty of nature "heavenly" in North Maluku, knowing the last time I visited the island of Ternate around December 2008. Thus the bubbling passions of my little whenever the opportunity also to cross to the island Tidore. Wowowowow fun. heheheh

Tohula Portuguese fort derives its name from the port Tohula Spanish architectural works, which is located right in front of the fort. From this fortress would indeed be able to clearly see the coast so that the movement of enemy ships can be monitored from the outset. I also do not get clarity on the status of relics of the fort was whether Spanish or Portuguese? But from a public explanation of the fort is known for its Portuguese fort.

Unfortunately a million dear, expensive historic relics and tourist potential to be a place of history was neglected and left to languish, and destroyed. Building castle in some parts of the couple already damaged the black stone. At the top of the region's residents with crops planted peppers, banana and the more convinced that the area is abandoned by the government politely Tidore city.

I visited this object after the morning prayers, watching Tohula moment, then jogging and stopped into this area. From the highest place I could enjoy the view of some of the city that is so enchanting Tidore, wishing it berlam-old enjoyed it. Wow awesome. Because it does not bring a good quality camera, the camera phones become the mainstay for perpetuating hobby GIFO (crazy photo) I, hehehe.

OK, by now the story was yes.
