... Dougal and Ally for a drink and a catch up. Then it was time for a bit more work, believe it or not, to Week three of the new job, and I'm still madly trying to learn enough to be able to speak to customers and more importantly be prepared for the trip on Monday to Indonesia. Presentations to potential customers there as well as meeting our local contacts had me a bit worried that I maybe should have been spending 24 hours a day, rather than just 10 - 12 every day ...

... douanier om een oogje dicht te knijpen.

Luckily some locals we had met one the ferry got us onto the free one into town. There we paid ...

... in the dark at 4.30am. The walk was 2 hours up hill through shrubs and forest. Most people hire a jeep and a driver for about 2 pounds each and it takes 35 mins. But we saved that 2 pounds, oh yes. And with that 2 pounds I managed to buy coffee and snacks because we were all bloody freezing at the top. I don't want to say it but once again the sunrise was a cloudy cold disappointment shared with about 500 taiwanese ...
