Wish I was there!
I drove round Mt Agung today and it was as dead as a doornail! Right, game on! I'm going to try and capture some good shots of the wonderful Indonesian people too. I need some of that Dancing Dave magic though ;)

THANKS NICK
I thus trace you to Eastern Bali...but no mention whether you climbed Mt Agung...Bali's holiest mountain...I expect to purge you would have done so..!

Once again a fabulous blog! Always blame a bad lunch, ha, ha. We always have time for one more massage. Maybe some day we will get you under water blowing bubbles.

Yay! That's amazing. I look forward to climbing Tanna soon (my first was Kilauea). There is just something about them I can't resist. Should have been a vulcanologist I guess!!

If you want volcanoes...Java is the place...as is Indonesia...they are everywhere...I love the shape...always gives me a special feeling when I see one.

How exciting!
I also am prone to seasickness. I inherited it...my greatgrandfather on my Dad's side was a seaman from Tonsburg Norway...he jumped ship in New York, never to return to sea. My great grandfather on my Mom's side was a Grand Banks fisherman from Newfoundland. His son, my grandfather, couldn't take the seasickness so quit after one season and became a logger and then a machinist in Toronto. I'm looking forward to the rest of your trip. I sailed to Java in 1959...perhaps I'm due for a return if you can inspire me!

THANKS BOB
And I wasn't sick or even squeamish...too many other things to think of...excitement, expectation, enjoyment...
