hey guys i am currently in south east asia, i have traveled through Indonesia, north of thailand, laos and am now in vietnam, i have the south of Thailand and Cambodia still to do before I return home. (blimey i have a busy life)
I'll fill you in on my travels so far ..........
starting our travels in indonesia me and charlotte met in Jakarta the capital of Java. We headed straight out of the city to Pangandaran we had to catch two trains, a taxi-bike, and a mini bus (which me and charlotte thought looked like a rock bands van), we reached our destination at midnight. Pangandaran was a small but very beautiful town with a long stretch of gold sand, and distant views of the coast fading away. The best day was the day we highered out mopeds, we tazzed along the coast to find the green canyon which we had been told so much about by the locals, we got a bit lost on the way there and ended up visiting a little village. The green Absolutly stunning canyon was a guide took us climbing and swimming in the canyon rapids (love that). After a few days we headed to yogyartar. The train was to yogya uncomfortablly comfortable, simply because our bags were where our legs were ment to be, and our knees were where our hands were meant to be. Yogya is home of the Borobordur which i must say is stunning, whilst we were walking around the local temples people were coming up to us and asking for photos, no joke we had about 50 photos. After about three days in yogya we found a trip of going to Bali on the way stopping at Mount Bromo. Bromo well this was intresting, hehe, apparently getting up at 4:30 in the morning to see the sun come up over the volcano is ment to be the most amazing sight you will ever see. Me and charlotte woke at 4:00 after a cold night sleep (was not expecting cold!) To see that it was rainy and cloudy out, but still we push ourselves to get up and go (past participle of stayed in bed). We had decided to walk to the volcano and see the sun come up, we did not see anyone else walking as they wernt on the same tight budget and could aford a jeep. As we started walking the way we had been told the night before we noticed there were no signs anywhere (Jes louise) we were then faced with a three way split in the road ooo which way to go. We ended up in a field and couldnt see ten feet infront of us because of the rain, finally it got light and we could now see the volcano but not the top. Although we were drenched and tierd felling the thought of a sausage sandwich kept us going (which we never really got its not on the menu over here). We then were picked up at 9 the same day to finish our trip to bali !!!!!
Java ferry ... ............................................. .......................................... Bali
Bali Bali Bali Bali Absolutly loved! We started our trip in Sanur a place on the south coast with beautiful beaches. We stayed in Sanur for about 4-5 days we needed a little relaxation after our travel through java. Sanur is where we were officially introduced to the famous words ' "massage" no thankyou "manacure, pedicur" no thankyou "hair braiding" no thanyou', the local woman on the beach would constantly ask the same questions even if the woman standing next to her did. There was also a funny surfer guy who rents surf boards, if you picture hawiian surf guru and youve got him (very cool, very cool). We were also introduced to orange water which may not sound very important but i tell you its what me and Charlotte needed constantly to live (so refreshing ahhh). It then came to the time we had to move to the next destination which was originally going to be apperntly Nusa Dua but they only cater for people with money. Time to move on already. We carried on to the next place a little tiny villlage Ulu Watu on the coast, next to the surf spot padnag-Padang. The most beautiful beach tiny (the size of goldern burn for any one that knows) was at the bottom of the road we were staying on. To get to the beach you have to go down many steps and baboons and then dodge you have to escape the many woman selling Sarongs "you want sarong" i can hear them now. After a few days at Ulu Watu we hit Kuta. The first couple of nights me and charlotte went out to the clubs pretty amazing any one that has been there will have heard of Bounty a lot of fun. Many dyas in Kuta were spent swimming, surfing, sunbathing, reading, the other days we Rented mopeds and went to checkout what was around Kuta. Which brings me to the day we went to find Jimbaren beach, Charlotte was the driver of our moped and i was the navigator not doing a very good job as we missed the turning. We ended up visiting Dream which was Absolutly stunning beach and then heading back to find the other beach. As we were flying down the country road to the beach singing at the top of our voice "titanic" of all songs, Charlotte did not spot the speed bump ahead we would have given triple-x a run for his money (it was sooo funny you had to be there moment). While Charlotte was away visiting her family in Kuta Lombok I remaind in meeting some locals, which took me to Ulu watu temple and a local fish market where we bought some Snapper fish and tuna fish, we got them cooked at the BBQ cafe round the corner (delicious). ALOS I got invite to have a traditional meal at thier house OMG the most amazing dinner ever.
That is just a brief over of Indonesia, missing out a lot as it would be hard to explaine it all, and all the random funny Happenings.
