Landlocked and thirsty

Fromthe ships in the sand of the Uzbek desert via the unspoilt beaches of East Timor to the crowded streets of Jakarta, this was an adventure I long to do all over again.

Meh... readers beware. I originally started this log to keep my mother up to date during a longer trip, but I quickly realized I wasn't about to waste my precious time off by sitting in some shady Internet café updating a blog nobody will read anyway. Nowadays it is more of a personal nostalgia and ego thing, but by all means, feel free to enjoy the speculations and hybris which will no doubt get reality checked soon enough. I will add older travel logs as time permits.... full info
