Hi, Just loved your report, made me feel like I was there again. Loved the photo of the small hut in Harau Valley- never got back to stay- after your report-glad I did not. Wow!! so many earthquakes. I travelled Indonesia for 5.5 months in 2006, staying 3.5 months in Sumatra and never felt one. Your another Indonesian wildflower is actually the beginnings of a pineapple.

Pamela whose heart lives in West Sumatra, whilst my body lives in Sydney Australia.
