We made it! just in time to get the bike washed and into the container. we hopped off the 15-hours-ferry from flores three days ago at 4 in the morning in kupang/west-timor. we waited 4 hours for the consulate to open, convinced the guy to give us a visa authorization the same day (normally it takes 3 days) and drove 200 to the border of east-timor
Our timing is good. after 2 fun and 2 road days we reached larantuka at the east coast of flores yesterday evening. the ferry to kupang on timor will leave tomorrow, which means we have only today to „kill“ with preparing, washing some clothes and chilling. our really beautiful dive trip around komodo – we saw our first manta, coool ! – did
Da haben wir den salat. die batterie ist hin, ein paar tage vor dem ziel. ist eigentlich auch kein wunder, denn die hat bald 40.000km und heftige klimabedingungen erlebt. aber wir hatten drauf spekuliert, damit noch anzukommen. nachdem wir in den letzten tagen jedoch schon fünfmal mit anschieben oder überbrücken nachhelfen mussten, ist sie uns v
And the waiting week is over. we are on the next continent ! to be honest, we haven't done much to get to know timor-leste, a part a few walks around the capital dili and a visit to the resistance museum. without own vehicle we felt really inflexible, the bike had been packed into the container just 1 day after our arrival. of course there are tour
Hey people ! we are alive and happy, just been too lazy and busy to finish the blog. ok, i don't really think that there is any blog reader left after 2,5 months of silence....but i feel the need to finish it now. everything is perfect, we successfully finished the trip without any problems or losses.....but 10 days before the end of the trip we br
Still here, still happy, after nearly 4 weeks in indonesia we still feel fantastic. java was not only traffic and chaos, but showed us some nice landscapes after all. and the traffic really became better in the east of the island. but it can definitely not compete with the quiet charme of sumatra. you feel that java is one of the most populated reg
There are no news from us, because nothing happens :) we just counted the days and noted that we have already spent 2,5 weeks in darwin and not done much: visit darwin – quickly done, small city – tan, swim and try not to spend too much money. we had considered renting a car and already visit the clostest national parks, but then we decided to
By the way, we left darwin as planned the day after the last blog article :-) and have already driven 3.000km since. wouuuuush....honestly we become are little lazy with the blog, now that we are so close to the end of the trip. and often there is no internet available, this country is just too huge to provide 3g in every region. we advance quickly
Unplanned travel stress. we felt that we have all the time to reach east-timor, and can linger a few days on every island we cross. but no. our american friends already reached dili in east-timor and send us interesting news about the timings for the ship to australia. we thought that we can go there whenever we want, maybe arrive in 3 weeks, and t
