... ever happened to just having a casette camera? They never screwed up. We're back running again though. When we book the train ticket, it leaves at 8:15am, the ticket lady advises to be there an HOUR before! We agree hesitantly, and arrive about 45mins before. Obviously by 9am there's no sign of the train and it's getting warm. Thankfully we were soon off and arrived in Jogja (short name) about 6ish. Next update from Buddhist New Year and the historic Yogyakarta...

... I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to spend the past two weeks with them... How lucky are we to be able to travel together as adults and have so many laughs together (mostly at my expense but whatever...). Sure, there were some not so great moments but overall, I loved travelling with both of them - thanks guys - it is a trip I will never forget!! :-) Oh and the "best" part of travelling as a trio was people's thoughts on our ...

... walking mood and opted out. Half a strike against LP, we'll give them props for the museum I prolly mistakenly missed. Next up, Orchard Road, the biggest of the highlighted areas on the map. Unfortunately it was just one modern shopping mall after the other.

I popped into one, and the reverse counter shock reasserted itself. It was consumerism overload, and I had a much harder time navigating around it than I usually do in malls. The "More Shops that way ...

... walk away with everything, and I (hopefully) walk away with my life, a great deal for both parties.



But these Indonesian police can't be knocked, they're staying well ahead of their game since the 2005 Bali bombing. I get news from my bro that they've arrested a whole bunch of dirka dirka dirka jihad terrorists, found and confiscated a whole bunch of weapons and bombs just in the last week or so. I flick on the TV (when i occasionally have one in my room) and although i cant ...

... across the way. I said thank you and moved on. The other terminal also didn't really have any English speakers, but "Jalan Jaksa" got the message across and they pointed to a stop on a little card, which I got to keep. Very handy. So I learned that we could get to where we wanted to go on the bus. Excellent. Back with Travis we scoured the LP map (one of the best uses for a LP is its maps) to see if we could figure out ...

... downpour, soaked to the skin and covered in mud with more leech bites... it wasn't worth it, believe me! Our next port of call was Carlos Beach in Bungus Bay where we checked into a lovely little beach hut in a homestay where we were the only guests. Our first day as spent lounging around on the beach while Charlie made Percy a new shirt from a napkin she'd stolen in Fiji, before we retired to our porch with a few beers to watch the sunset and have a few ...

... boterham met kaas! Maar goed er is natuurlijk heel veel leuker, maar dta doet er even niet toe..ahahha Vrijdag moest ik naar singapore voor mn visum, wat een ongelooflijk contrast is dat, was het helemaal vergeten! Alles super goed georganiseerd, zoooo schoon, geen verkeer, alles is duidelijk aangegeven, eenal georganiseerde stad, maar zo erg dat zelfs het vuilnis dat wel op straat ligt...eruit ziet alsof het daar geplaatst is! Geen zwerver, alcoholist, vuilnis ...

... the bus terminal as we had discussed, but basically on the side of the road somewhere. The rest of the people on the bus didn't seem very happy either, the driver just kinda announced get out here, this bus is now going someplace else. They were screaming at him and he didn't seem to care and just pointed in the direction of some "bemos". As you do in these situations, we found some friendly local went so far ...
