Thus, I concentrated to taking photos of the horses as they gallop wildly across the dry terrain and their guides. Later, I made arrangement to have someone drop me off and pick me up in the ...

Destination 158: km91'801 Nun wird endlich alles klar gemacht! Da ich mit meinem 21- Tage- Visum nicht mehr weiter komme, entscheide ich mich fuer den Verlad von Surabaya aus nach Darwin - nicht zuletzt unterstuetzt durch den heute ca. 120 km vor Surabaya geschehenen Unfall.
