Wednesday 24th August 2016 I was woken during the night by a torrential downpour. Been so long since I had heard the sound of rain that I momentarily wondered what the noise was. The next thought was of my lambswool…
Lombok
Saturday 20th August 2016 I was really happy that I had arrived in Lombok around 1pm as it gave me plenty of time to negotiate the roughly 2 hour journey to meet up with Gregory and Alice in Koeta in…
Sumbawa
Friday 19th August 2016 Always seem to find accommodation close to a mosque. So I was awake pretty early, packed and ready to go looking for a cup of coffee. Sumbawa is a totally different landscape to Flores. On the…
