Bali..last stop before Oz
Entry 30 of 34 | show all | print this entry |
Not too many chances to get on the internet throughout Indonesia....definitely a significant step down from Malaysia in terms of infrastructure.
We're all really looking forward to Australia now.
Maz said the other day that "this trip is too long but not long enough" & it's true...we feel like we have been on the road forever, changing currencies and languages and sometimes quite significant changes in temperature every couple of days and yet we'd all like to have been able to spend longer in some of the places we have been. Maybe if we had then we wouldn't be so jaded now.
Bali feels like the hottest place we've been so far. I haven't sweated this much since landing in Bangkok. Maybe it's because we've just come from the cool mountain air around Mt Bromo on Java. Oh well, it'll toughen us up for Oz!
As usual, this crappy computer I'm on is acting up and the connection is really slow so I can't get at the latest photos on my camera to upload them. I've been using one on the guys' laptops to transfer the photos to a USB stick but haven't had the opportunity to do that for a while now. We're all back together now* for the flight to Australia early Monday morning so hopefully I'll get hold of it again soon. Otherwise, I can see myself spending the whole 2 weeks in the run up to Christmas in Sydney updating my blog & making it look like I would have liked to have done it all along. It's amazing how long it takes just to check a few emails and post some map pins so you all know where I am! Weigh that against the amount of time we have in the places we stop & you can see why the blog has been pretty sparse. That's 2 hours used up now so I'm heading back outside to enjoy the sunshine...ttfn

Some people got tired of being on the bus so much or really wanted to visit some place we weren't going to along the way, so groups of people have left & rejoined the bus along the way. The farthest I deviated was to a different hotel in Bukittinggi but I definitely want to go back to some of the places we have been and see a lot of places we missed along the way too!

Not long to go now - less than 2 weeks left on the bus. We were getting worried about you, since we didn't hear from you in so long!
You're not missing much here, you'll be unsurprised to hear!
Did you hear from Kevin? Did the laptop arrive?
