Up to Bromo we go! Yesterday Harry our dingy driver took us to shore where we cleared immigration, met our guide for the next 2 days emum and head on into the town for icecream. After we had licked our almond magnum sticks clean it was time to drive up to our lodge for the night; hotel lava, which sits 2700m above sea level. Down at the port the weather was stinking hot, but as we made our way up into the mountain the weather became mild and fresh. Such a nice ...

The last few days have been travel days. We had another 40 hour crossing to get from teluk Kumai to palau tundu via the java sea.

During the day we all slept, played rummykin, cards, read a lot ad just hung out. It was a rest day, Well spent! So this morning we woke up to a busting little port town called taluk Kumai which is ...

5:30am and BING, I am awake! I wondered upstairs in the hope of catching sunrise! it was a pretty overcast day so unfortunately it wasnt the best but just siting up on deck, everyone still asleep, the boat was still traveling in the direction of Karimata.. But now u could start to see the mountain formations upon the horizon! This morning was beautiful: alone, Just chilling in the breeze, wrapped up in thoughts, heading effortlessly across the south china sea... ...
