Graham, I'm now sure that if you want to get somewhere you would use a bike before a ferry. Ian

Ian at this accelerating pace (averaging a new island every 1.5 days) I expect you’ll be half way along Java by the time I check your journal tomorrow.

Will you be buying each of the Friday Peloton an “I’ve Been Bali Too” T-shirt?

You're right. I'm seeing the same - interesting.

Yes, but I didn't get a plastic bag!!!!!

Ian. I didn't see that. But if you're wallowing in manure in a foreign land, then you'd gladly pay. That's $25,000 - a lot of booze in Australia and save on an air ticket. He could have bought 15 new scooters and set up a rental business.

Do dried fish smell?
