Christmas in a volcano
... finally put our head around it. We also treated ourselves with one of the local favourite delicacy, loaf of toast bread buttered inside out and filled with any two fillings of your choice before being toasted in a pan so no fat is lost! So wrong, but so good on every level (Christmas calories intake – done). Before leaving the region, we went back to Bukittinggi, the main town nearby from where our bus to Jakarta leaves.

We sat exchanging glances with the local men and were very unsure about them as ...

... It was obvious after chatting with the travel agent that they didn't get many tourists around the area. Their English wasn't very good and obviously our Indonesian was non-existent. We did however get the phrase book out and try some. After trying to understand what time we'd go and settle on a price....an English speaking Indonesia girl came to the forefront and mediated the situation. It was 13:00 and we weren't leaving until 17:00. So, we had four hours to wait around in ...
