OTHER TRAVELERS

While we’ve been traveling in Southeast Asia, we’ve encountered all types of fellow travelers -- fun ones, loud ones, big groups, solo travelers, et cetera. Sometimes it’s really fun when you make friends with travelers and see them again. Other times, you start to notice that EVERYBODY is on the same travel circuit and you see the same people over and over again -- and not the ones who are your friends. We’ve seen people several ...

... rocky surface didn't give in easily. In half way I started getting worried if we reach the top in time so I separated and hurried up the hill. I overtook two other groups and placed my foot on the peak as the first, just when the dawn started. It was one of those moments you never forget. Number of people on top was slowly growing but it was far from crowded as at Bromo. Gunung Merapi is a 2911m high volcano visible from ...

... problem was that my train would get in at 3am; never a good time to arrive alone in a strange town.
The train journey was pleasant and I even managed to get 30 seconds kip at one point. At this point I was planning an all night bar jaunt to avoid ending up in some absolute dive although I relented upon arrival as it was very hot, very dark and somewhat intimidating when dead on your feet.

The temple is structured as 9 tiers signifying the different stages of Buddhist life, the top tier representing heaven. Its exterior is constructed from over 1500 handcrafted volcanic rock panels each narrating part of a Buddhist teaching and there are over 500 Buddha statues assembled on the structure too.

... to Wikipedia there are 17,508 altogether. They stretch from just north of Darwin up to the peninsula where Malaysia is that sticks down from Asia. The four main regions are: Nusa Tenggara (the islands to the east of Bali until East Timor), Bali (the most touristy island), Java (the skinny one in the middle where there's lot of culture), and Sumatra (the big island at the top of the archipelago). Indonesia has ...

Another early start today as I was due to drop my motorbike off a 11:00 and the downpour yesterday afternoon prevented me ...

... me of her or I wished she was there to do with me: riding motorbikes, checking out temples, grabbing meals, walking through town. I returned that evening to Yogyakarta, had a quiet meal, blogged and received more engagement-related emails. I was receiving incredibly strong family support from my direct, my extended and Mary's family, which was fantastic. My dilemma with my decision to leave in June/July for the Peace ...

... nette Ruine, die zu besteigen in Deutschland nicht möglich wäre. Das ist ziemlich hoch und da gibt es praktisch keine Absp**rungen, od** Gitt** od** was zum Festhalten. War ziemlich lustig und dann hat ** mich noch zu dies** unt**irdischen Moschee gebracht. Als wir durch diese kleinen Gässchen sind und dann auch noch in einen Tunnel unt** d** Erde dachte ich mir: ok, wenn d** jetzt nicht nett ist, dann warten da ein paar Kumpels von ihm auf mich und die nehmen mir all ...
