Hazels mum Naomi Post Count: 9 Msg: #1 146 days ago, May 19th 2008 | I love Indonesia, and am off for a 2 month journey through West and North Sumatra in August and September. I'm planning on spending alot of time trekking in the jungle and climbing a few volcanoes, as well as tripping out on hot spicey local food. It's always fun having companions, so if you're interested in joining me on some of my travels, please contact me: <snip> | I'm 44/S/F/Australian with a smattering of Bahasa Indonesian.

Which jungles are you planning to go to? | Hazels mum Naomi Post Count: 9 Msg: #3 121 days ago, June 13th 2008 | about a month in West Sumatra, including Kerinci, then heading to Gunung Leseur for 7-10 days. | changz KarenL Post Count: 36 Msg: #4 121 days ago, June 13th 2008 | are you gonna hire a guide when you are there? | Hazels mum Naomi Post Count: 9 Msg: #5 121 days ago, June 13th 2008 | for extended treks definitely, otherwise I mightn't find my way out and get eaten by a tiger!! | for some of the volcano climbs, the tracks are easily negotiated so I won't worry then. changz KarenL Post Count: 36 Msg: #6 120 days ago, June 14th 2008 | Do you know how wild the treks are? I want to do at lesat some of them, but because I have to travel a few places before that, I won't be carrying heavy boots. If it's totally bush beating, my gear might not do. HOwever, fi there are places to rent things, maybe it's okay. haha. | Hazels mum Naomi Post Count: 9 Msg: #7 120 days ago, June 14th 2008 | yeah, I'm taking boots. I've heard the jungle treks are pretty rugged, though some people seem to get by in sandals if just doing a day trip. i haven't heard about anywhere you can hire footware though. | changz KarenL Post Count: 36 Msg: #8 119 days ago, June 15th 2008 | haha, it's probably not a good idea to rent anyway, it might be uncomfortable, foodware is not like jackets. | Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 8 | ||||||||||||||||
