  • First stop off

    10–12 Haz 2024, Singapur ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    - First stop off of the entire trip after a long flight where Anas slept on Ollie's shoulder the whole way
    - Somehow ended up in 'Little India' which stank of curry
    - Proceeded to try out the new drone. Said drone 'fucked off' and never came back
    - After much deliberation, we learnt from our mistake and bought another one...if we lose this one I'm going to cry
    - Broke into the paddocks above the Singapore F1 track and got some amazing drone shots
    - Learnt pretty quickly that Singapore is brutally humid and that aircon is the best thing ever invented.

  • Nearly bought a 3rd drone

    14–15 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    - Nasi goreng for breakfast - AMAZING
    - Attempted to tie bags for the first time with moderate success
    - Headed south to look at Kawah Putih, fog disappointed us
    - Got scammed buying strawberries for 30,000 RP, saw the same for 5,000 down the road...
    - Headed back through Ciwidey, then south through sunrise point Cukul and climbed to the top. Climbed ongoing construction site for a much needed drone shot, sound chaps
    - Thunderstorm hit while on the road. My waterproof jacket was not as waterproof as I thought. Bright green ponchos came in clutch 👌
    - Took the drone out with 20% battery, nearly fell down the cliff, so we sacrificed a finger to catch it midair.
    - Took google Maps' recommendation along a track of large rocks up a mountain. Suspension was tested thoroughly alongside my willpower to live
    - Stopped for petrol when it went dark, ended up staying in the owners house
    - Quick trip to buy the entiretly of the sweet selection in indonesia, £9 with face wash and pantine. Took anas's bike and discussed kidnapping a small child in front of his mother.

  • Faceplant

    15–16 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    - Woke up to find the doritoes had be ransacked by ants and carried across the wall into a hole next to where we were sleeping. Whoops
    - The apartment was infested with ants and cockroaches, with an entire ecosystem along the wall. The bed resembled a sesaw where anas would lie down and I got shot up half a foot. I guess you get what you paid for. (£0)
    - Headed south towards the sea along the worst roads imaginable.
    - Started to rain, we put on our bright green ponchos in preparation- immediately stopped raining...great
    - Ollie fell off his moped going round a left turn. Small injuries with greater mental embarrassment.
    - Took the wrong turn at the crossroads and ended up in a stunning village in the middle of nowhere. Begged the locals for a bin, but no-one understood. All the villagers came out to stare at us and thought our empty strawberry packet was an offering. The local english teacher came and took us to her house and made us lunch which was amazing.
    - Continued south with the villagers until we found the main road to the beach.
    - Followed the road along the coastline for a few hours and ended up in Pagandaran in a waterside shack!
    - Currently listening to a man wail from a speaker attempting to practise call to prayer. He's going to have to count his blessings as I'm about to beat him to death very slowly if he doesn't shut up soon.

  • Endless wailing

    16–17 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ 🌫 14 °C

    - Woke up to roosters roosting very loudly
    - Had breakfast sitting on a wooden pontoon over the lake at our accommodation. I now have the urge to build something similar over the pond at home...
    - Started our journey from parangaran to Dieng Plateau on the mopeds
    - Drove through the mountains along silkly smooth roads with amazing views
    - Took the drone out for shoots, footage coming soon!
    - Stopped off at an alfa mart for pot noodles, croissants and ice cream.
    - Started to get dark as we drove higher up into the mountains towards dieng Plateau. Got incredibly cold towards the end
    - Stopped off at a plastic fire to warm up, very green
    - Reached our destination for the night basically frozen.
    - Got wayy too much fried chicken from Rocket Chicken and spent all the remaining money we have, worth it 👌
    - Found out that our accomodation is next to the local mosque. Listened to wailing for 4 hours straight....

  • Sleep deprivation

    17–18 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    - Couldn't get to sleep until 12am because of the mosque that was conveniently located inside our hotel room.
    - Got woken up AGAIN at 5am for 30 mins with additional wailing
    - Got woken up AGAIN AGAIN at 8am with MORE wailing.... I contemplated cutting the speaker wires
    - Got woken up AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN at 10am and decide to call it quits so got out of bed. Water from the tap didn't work and the electricity was on strike. Nice
    - We were both sleep deprived and in pretty crap moods, so I took us to Sikunir Hill vantage point. The views were incredible and most importantly we couldn't hear the mosque, which was a blessing.
    - Also went to Arjuna complex to see the Hindu temple reminents.
    - Still traumatised by last night's events we had a short day and headed to Borobudur where Ollie picked out the best hotel known to man.
    - Had the best shower ever and finally got our clothes washed at the laundry, in the hotel.
    - We ate at a beautiful buffet restaurant next to a pond filled with koi karp, whereby we used the rice crackers as bait to bring them to the surface. I contemplated grabbing a fish and eating it as they cleared all the food by the time I went back for seconds 🙃.
    - Went back to the hotel and found 2 horses in the back. One kept trying to bite anas which was hilarious and the other was sweet. We also found a truck with the keys in the ignition, we jumped in and tried to highjack it but the battery was flat so we couldn't take it for a spin. It would have been funny seeing the receptionists' face when we drove out with HER truck. I wonder what Indonesian jail looks like?

  • Please wait from the west

    18–19 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    - Woke up and went downstairs for a mediocre buffet. The only redeemable option was noodles, which ollie mixed with rice 🤢 we then decided to grab croissants from nearby shop instead, ollie eating more as usual.
    - We drove to Borobudur Temple and after a brief pep talk from Anas, vaulted the fence to circumvent the ridiculous entry fees, just to get caught immediately. We acted confused and was directed to the front to get tickets, and had our drone taken until we left. Ollie being a coward refused a second attempt at sneaking in.
    - The temple was cool but we were too hot. After circling the temple 3 times looking for the way to the ticket booth, we took back the drone and headed back to the bikes. After 20 minutes of contemplation to get a drone shot despite the prohibition laws, we decided to play it safe and moved on.
    - We then drove back to the hotel to pick up our clean clothes and sat under an AC unit for half an hour to cool off
    - We then drove to Yogyakarta and stopped off at a local cafe. Food was great and staff agreed for us to leave our bags while we explore the city. We visited the markets and found the city to be vibrant and quirky.
    - Just as we were about to set off for Malang, we had the sudden urge to swim, so had the cafe employee call many hotels to find a pool that was open till late, and booked a 4 star hotel room in the city for hefty 26 quid. Sheesh. We mucked around in the pool then hit the streets looking for dinner. We got distracted, then everything closed, so we settled for a measly burger king. In retrospect, we are both glad we stayed a little longer.
    - Came across the glorious nig mac
    - Said sama sama (you're welcome) to everyone as a greeting and found it hilarious all day
    - Found a souvenir shop and bought ice cream. Please wait from the west and proceed north to the counter.

  • Hitting the road

    19–20 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    - Set an alarm for 7am in preparation for a long day of driving. Woke up a few minutes later at 11am and decided we probably should get a move on.
    - Stopped off at Alfa mart for breakfast supplies and hit the road.
    - 4 hours in anas' bike lost all power, conveniently outside a yamaha dealership. Had it happened anywhere else along the 8hr drive we would have been stuffed.
    - We grabbed lunch whilst the mechanics worked on the bike, they managed to fix the problem, replace spark plugs, change oil and change the break pads all for the hefty price of £9 including labour.
    - Continued driving into the night and finished 20 minutes from Malang. We are very impressed by how much distance we covered today.
    - Finally we went to forage for food in the local town. Stopped by a street food shop that makes amazing Nasi Goreng. We each ordered 2 plates and tea. Ollie accidentally ate a chilli and died for 5 minutes whilst the owner ran down the road to buy water. Anas was slandering ollie and now has just done the same thing. What a moron

  • Dune Slip and slide

    20–21 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    - Woke up late after the long drive from yesterday, we both slept amazingly
    - Went to alfamart again for breakfast supplies. Discovered the cheese pastry, which they microwaved in the plastic wrapping....healthy. This may be the go-to breakfast
    - Began our drive towards Bromo national park and we promised ourselves a more relaxing day (this was not the case)
    - As we started to climb through the mountains we stopped off at a waterfall which was pretty amazing and then found a restaurant overlooking the mountain range. The views were amazing and we got some killer drone shots.
    - We drove on and immediately discovered that there was an enty fee into the national park, which we were short on cash for. The closest ATM was 30 minutes away ffs.
    - After a lot of consideration anas found a backdoor route that connected up just behind the entrance. We drove down in and discovered it was a dirt track along the side of a cliff about half a meter wide. One wrong slip and it's game over. We concluded this was a terrible idea and turned back for an ATM.
    - After driving to the nearest town, we got the cash and returned to the gate, paid the fee and carried on.
    - It got really cold as we were driving and ollie ran over a cat, which ran away after so I presume it's just a minor flesh wound.
    - We travelled south and discovered the main road was a desert of slipperly black ash. We were on the verge of freezing to death and in the midst of a mountain range in pitch black darkness with no one around for miles. All we could see was shadows of mountains and the stars. With ollies moped lights failing, anas took the lead as we drifted the sands on mopeds with no traction whatsoever. The realisation hit us that we had 5 more kilometres of this with no alternative route. We got stuck several times, and nearly fell off many more while some of the locals barrelled past us on mountain tires and 2 passengers.
    - Finally made it to the village and started asking the locals if we could make it onto the mountain for sunrise as it was closed off for 4 days. We have decided to climb anyway...

  • Mission Impossible - Sumitting Mt Bromo

    21–22 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    - Got woken up 3 times by the alarm in which we snoozed all of them. Finally decided to get out of bed at 3am to climb Mt Bromo against all warnings.
    - Drove to the hotel in the closest village to Mt Bromo to look for discreet parking. We snuck past the main ticket barrier and parked the bikes.
    - Started our decent to the volcanic ash grounds surrounding the mountains. Descent was slippery and dark.
    - Once we got to flat ground, it was time to head towards the mountain without being seen. Looking over our shoulders, we took the routes furthest away from apparent motorbike or Jeep lights from patroll staff. We couldn't use torches otherwise we would be discovered.
    - We snuck past base camp and on several occasions had to jump into rock crevasses to hide from oncoming bikes.
    - Tensions were high and we finally reached the base of the mountain unseen. When locals would walk past, we covered our faces and heads in the hopes we wouldn't be spoken to. We made our adrenaline-rushed way to the peak of the mountain in pitch black darkness and saw the huge crater looming below us. We start to make our way round the crater and get suffocated by the giant cloud of sulfur gas from the volcano. Anas had an asthma attack and descended back to the middle of mountain. Had he forgot his pump, he'd be stuffed. After we recovered, we found a spot at the top of the crater clear of gas fumes, and the realisation that we had snuck onto the summit of a forbidden volcano set in.
    - We stayed up on the peak for a few hours where we took drone shots and met a French guy who had done the same thing as us. We watched some absolute nutjobs walk partially down into the crater for the festival where locals were throwing food into the volcano as sacrifice.
    - After staying for a while we headed down into the ash flats. It was surreal seeing the area we had snuck through open up and not have to worry about being caught. We got many looks from locals as tourists weren't allowed in this area.
    - We got back to our apartment at 10 and slept for a few hours as the adrenaline of the day had started to wear off.
    - We drove up to seruni point where we were planning to go before instead of Mt Bromo. Was amazing but I am very glad we were on Bromo for sunrise.
    - Finally we drove to a nearby waterfall, it was closed and the drone didn't work so we ended up driving north to Probollingo which is definitely crap.
