    Bike troubles

    22–23 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ 🌫 15 °C

    - Woke up late from our hotel after catching some much needed sleep after Bromo
    - Began our drive towards Ijen in preparation for the climb the following sunrise.
    - We planned to arrive early to rest, BUT SOMEONES BIKE BROKE DOWN...AGAIN.
    - We initially tried to solider on with a stuttering engine, until progress became painfully slow.
    - Plan B was to have one of us push the other with their foot on the foot peg. This was tedious and didn't really work uphill.
    - Plan C worked temporarily but turned out to be an awful idea. We tied both bikes together with rope and made it a few miles before concluding this was a terrible idea after a tragic accident around a bend.
    - After patching up injuries, a local came over and brought anas' bike back to life. We then managed to plod our way to Mt Ijen, arriving quite late in the evening.
    - We stopped off for dinner in what looked like someone's house and ordered 2 bowls of noodles. After inhaling it, we requested a refill, and then requested another. Out of shame we didn't get anymore and instead decided to buy snacks from the nearby shop. We ate so much they had to drive to the shops to restock.
    - The only affordable accomodation in the area was an absolute shithole, with no shower or proper running water. The only way to get water was to pull a peg out of the wall that was plugging the flow. Anas couldn't figure out how to take it out, someone came over to do it and got drenched, while anas couldn't stop laughing. Stupidly the plug in our room only worked when the light was turned on so we charged nothing.
    - After hiring headtorches and gas masks, we were then informed that we need a medical form to show we were fit to climb. The nearest clinic was 10km away, though awful roads and it was already 9pm.
    - We made the journey with one of them leading the way and some random uncle tagging along on the back of anas' bike. We still have no clue why he came as he contributed nothing...
    - The 'medical examination' took an hour of our time and consisted only of a blood pressure check.
    - Upon arriving home we fell asleep at midnight, getting around 2 hours of sleep before climbing.    Okumaya devam et

    The quest for blue flames

    23–24 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    - We woke up for 2.30am, or rather ollie did and anas refused to get out of bed. After a lot of persuasion in the form of verbal and physical abuse, anas decided to get up.
    - We began the climb and immediately realised how many tourists there were along the single track road.
    - On the way we saw sherpas offering to push lazy people up in glorified wheelbarrows for the small price of 1.5 million a pop. For the more hefty folk, multiple sherpas were required, the fat fucks.
    - We stopped off at a shop halfway up the mountain to buy water and chocolate. Anas ended up buying sugary water which was tasted like tree sap.
    - Continuing on with our hard climb, we were slowed down by the number of tourists bumbling along the path. Most were wearing trainers, and mostly out of breath on a small incline...
    - One we reached the top we began descending towards the crater to see the blue flames at night. The sheer number of people made it incredibly slow to decend, so we missed sunrise at the top.
    - Once we reached the bottom , we rushed back up to the peak for some epic drone shots.
    - The descent back down the mountain was wet, slippy and miserable, but we had a chat with the locals to pass the time.
    - We arrived back home, napped for a few hours to recharge and the drove to Ketapang ferry port.
    - After some lovely fried chicken, we bought our tickets for a whopping £2 each and headed to the port.
    - It was like the hunger games, with the number of bikes racing to get on the ferry. After an hour of waiting in standstill queues, we finally boarded and only arrived to Bali at 10pm.
    - Both of us half asleep we drove an hour away to a hotel in Jembrana which in contrast to last night accomodation is built for humans.    Okumaya devam et

    Immediately left bali

    25–26 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    - Woke up late after a long commute using the ferry and driving to our accomodation
    - We initially booked 2 nights in the south of bali, until anas' sudden burst of wisdom led to us impulsively ditching the second night and booking a ferry to Nusa Lebongan
    - As we had some time before the 5pm ferry, we went to the beach, which was rammed. We swam and took the drone out and headed back for showers.
    - We then drove like maniacs to the ferry a and reduced the 1hr travel time by 10 minutes by bombing it down the toll road even with being held up by a 5 minute argument at the toll booth
    - Arriving with 30 minutes to spare we picked up our tickets and boarded the speed boat.
    - After arriving at our destination, we discovered that we had to wade to shore carrying our bags and not falling over. A man was there to meet up and deliver us our moped for the 2 days.
    - As our AirBnB accomodation hadn't been confirmed we headed to the nearest beach restaurant and has fresh fish for dinner which was amazing.
    - Finally we crashed at our accomodation early as Ollie had to wake up early to go diving the next day!    Okumaya devam et

    MANTA RAYS

    26–27 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    - Ollie woke up early at 7am to get ready for diving. Headed to the dive centre for 7.30am to get briefed whilst anas the lazy twat slept in to 11am
    - We were going to Manta and Crystal bay for the 1st and 2nd dives.
    - Got in the speedboat and travelled for 40 minutes along beautiful vertical coastline.
    - At the first dive site we got prepared and dove in. After 5 minutes we immediately were surrounded by manta rays! There were around 8-10 of varying sizes and one mother that was pregnant. The wingspan ranged from 2-4 meters and they were so graceful in the water. Lots of videos to come!
    - After this we drove to the next dive site, crystal point, where we were surrounded by hundreds of fish of varying species. Notable sightings included; Mauray eel, frog fish, seahorses, lobsters and a baby turtle!
    - After completing both our dives we headed back to the dive shop.
    - As ollie managed to convince anas to join in diving, he had to complete a pool date starting at 2pm. This was very funny to watch from Ollies perspective 🤣
    - Anas took a while getting used to breathing underwater with the scuba kit, but figured it out and completed his training with basic skills.
    - After completing this and preparing for the next diving day, we drove to a nearby beach bar at the south West of the island. The views were spectacular and in our famished state we both ate 2 mains each.    Okumaya devam et

    First Arab underwater

    27–28 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    - We both woke up early to drive to the dive centre to prepare for the 2 dives today! Anas was still slightly anxious about what to expect from the experience
    - We arrived at 7.45 and Anas used his puffer outside the dive centre, so to hide it from the instructor otherwise pepe would have killed him.
    - We assembled our gear, jumped on the boat and drove to the first dive site which was Manta Point like yesterday.
    - Anas was hesitant when entering the water, but after falling backwards relatively gracefully he soon adapted to the ocean.
    - We descended below the boat and after 5 minutes of acclimatisation to understand breathing we reached the bottom.
    - Then Mantas emerged! There were around 8 rays varying in size, with a noticeable pregnant manta who was huge. Ollie got some insane shots and is well on his way for deep sea photographer of the year.
    - The best shot was when a manta flew over his head (0.25m away) and he blew bubbles on its belly.
    - After gawking at mantas for 50 minutes we ascended to the surface and got back on the dive boat
    - Anas immediately started to feel sick and began heaving over the side of the boat... classy. He was fine after 20 minutes of very rocky sailing
    - The next dive site was Mangrove Point. This was a reef where fish are born and develop, so hopes were high. As the area had a strong current flowing north, we would start the dive south and be picked up further up the island.
    - We started the dive and were swept along beautiful coral reefs with an abundance of fish in every direction. This was also an amazing moment to practise buoyancy in the water, whereby you inflate and deflate your BCD (Bouynacy control device) so that you can 'hover' horizontally.
    - Anas was surprisingly good at this and picked it up quickly. Ollie spent his time practising getting super close to the coral with this technique and definitely didn't crash a few times.
    - We outlasted all the other divers (45 minutes underwater) and regrouped on the boat.
    - After a short drive back we finished at the dive shop! Anas paid for the entire thing as he was deeply in debt with ollie.
    - After grabbing the drone we drove to devils tear on the west coast of the island (squrity cliffs). They were rather wet. Anas is still complaining about spending £1.25 each on this activity...what a moron
    - We finally drove to sunset point, ate our bodies worth in food (except for anas who has his meal messed up twice) and attempted to plan the rest of the trip with moderate success.    Okumaya devam et

    Ass coffee

    28–29 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    - Woke up super early as we had the ferry at 8.15 going back to bali. Packed all our stuff and took the speedboat back.
    - When we picked up our bikes in bali we realised 2 key details: Ollies ignition had fallen out so now his bike was reliant on a small spring to start. Secondly anas' front tyre needed replacing as it had deflated due to a slash.
    - We therefore found a garage around the corner and paid the hefty £3 for a new tyre. Whilst they got to work we ate way too many pancakes at nearby cafe.
    - After the work was complete we drove south to benoa to look for the ferry to Lombok. We then realised that the ferry didn't go from here and instead another port an hour away north.
    - We bought out tickets for the ferry and were stopped by a rouge police man on the way through who insisted that we need international driving licences to use our bikes. As anas' had an online picture he was fine, but Ollie did not so he fined him 200,000 Rupiah, which definitely did not go into his pocket.
    - We boarded the ferry and we're immediately swarmed by small women adamant to sell their food. Anas in his infinite wisdom opted for the unfiltered coffee which in his words tasted of 'ass water' They couldn't even understand his explaining that coffee should be filtered.
    - After fending off the rest of indonesia offering up food, we settled down and watched films for 5 hours before arriving in lombok.
    - We drove to our accomdation on the south West coast and crashed for the night.    Okumaya devam et

    The inevitable death of anas' bike

    29–30 Haz 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    - Slept in a room with ac that was on strike. I was hot last night that it was warmer inside our room that outside.
    - Woke up to a beautiful ocean view with a private swimming pool just next to the sea.
    - Went down for breakfast and got a inclusive breakfast and then paid for an extra breakfast after as we were feeling peckish.
    - We got told to check out as we were 30 minutes over the Check Out time after a dip in the pool. Whoops
    - Drove 15 minutes down the coast and paid 2 men £20 to take us on a boat to 3 nearby islands, the first of which we went snorkeling nearby. At the second, we were made fried noodles by a man in a wooden shack on the completely barren island. And the 3rd island was so tiny it was a 10 minute walk around the whole thing. Here we spent 1.5 hours just mucking around in the sea and being oddly amused with rocks we found on the floor, while the 2 men waited on the island waiting for us to finish being children.
    - After this we headed back, nearly lost out prop to a buoy and drove back to our hotel to collect our bags.
    - We began heading to Kuta at which halfway through the journey anas' bike gave up and grinded to a halt.
    - The locals came our to help. Long story short we ended up in their house eating rice and chicken, whilst bidding each other for the sale of Anas' bike for hours. After all this wasted time the cheeky guys offered us £75 for the bike after which it miraculously came back to life again, so we ploughed on to Kuta.
    - Somehow we made it to the hotel, then went out for 2nd dinner, and they caused a flight between a gay couple.    Okumaya devam et

    The death of Ollie's bike

    30 Haz–1 Tem 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    - Woke up and immediately looked for food as usual. Went to a lovely cafe and got 2 breakfasts each.
    - We then checked on the surf place in Kuta and they said come back at 4pm for lessons. We therefore walked around a bit, got a drink and did not a lot.
    - We came back for surfing and hopped in a jeep with no rear seats. With us we're 2 instructors and a supposed 17 year old who looked 11.
    - We took the jeep to the surf site and were showed how to get up on the surf board. Upon entering the water we completely forgot this information and repeatedly faceplanted for the first hour.
    - After this we started to get the hang of it and felt pretty good until the alleged 17 year old showed us up.
    - After surfing we had an obscene amount of noodles at the beach front. We then headed back for a small snack of 2 pancakes each.
    - As we had to catch the ferry the next morning we began our drive to Mataram.
    - All was brilliant until it wasn't .
    - Around 20 minutes into the journey, and on the last 20km stretch of our epic 1600km road trip, Ollie had a slight technical issue whereby the engine internally exploded. This was characterised by the intense rattling of the metal components inside his internal combustion chamber. Upon describing the sounds to Anas and trying to start the bike, he conclusively determined, in his words, "it was fucked". Wonderful...
    After making it across the entirety of the country along every terrain imaginable, it gave in just before the finish line. However, technically, the man who we bought it from was still correct, that it would in fact make it to lombok. In retrospect, he did not promise that it would make it through lombok. Of the two bikes, we were sure that Anas' would be the one to go first. How the tabled had turned
    - Within minutes, locals pulled up to check up on us, and decided quite quickly that we'd donate the fallen soldier to the couple that stopped for us. We handed over the keys and insurance documents. We then explained that Anas will drive his bike to Mataram and sell it there, to which they responded with their wishes to buy it right there and then. We agreed on a price of 4M rupiah, and pretended it was suffering no power issues whatsoever... He gave us cash and we both hopped into his friends car, who drove us to our accomodation in Mataram.
    - After arriving to our "reserved" accomodation, we were told by the bellend at the front that they had no space despite our reservation. After a brief argument, we then crossed the road and found other accommodation to spend the night.    Okumaya devam et

    The quest for the 'promised land'

    1–2 Tem 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    - Woke up
    - Took a shit
    - Got out of bed
    - After that hefty ordeal, Ollie ordered a grab and we went to the ferry port.
    - Took the ferry which was awful. Somehow it was hotter and sweatier than the slow public ferry.
    - Once we arrived in Bali the company we booked with notified us that the 2 hour journey would take 3.5 hrs by shuttle bus, meaning we would miss our flight. We therefore opted to go via taxi, the driver of which was a monumental lunatic, breaking every traffic law in the books to get us to the airport in time, whatever the cost. Notable offences included running of red lights, nearly murdering a few pedestrians, cutting up other cars, and tailgating so hard that we could have washed cars in front while on the move. All of which resulted in a substantial saving in journey time, cutting our eta by a whopping grand total of zero minutes.
    - After we arrived, we rushedly ran through the airport, and after an emergency urinary pit stop, made our way through seemingly the most laid-back security check.
    - While boarding the first flight, the pilot stuck his head out the window to notify which country this plane was going to, after which half the passengers disembarked. It turns out that the passengers in indonesian airports are just trusted to choose which plane they get on once you get on the runway tarmac. How on earth this happened is still beyond us.
    - 2 flights later, the second of which was delayed, we finally arrived at midnight in Manado, the promise lands. A 10 minute walk led us to the hotel Emma was staying in and greeted her there. It was then we all universally acknowledged that Manado.... was in fact a monumental shithole.
    - We settled in for an early night (3am) excited to explore the beautiful city of Manado.    Okumaya devam et

    Manado is the new Bandung

    2–3 Tem 2024, Endonezya ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    - All 3 of us woke up late after a tiring previous day of travel.
    - Anas headed straight out to track down a car rental company, none of which were in the place Google maps said they would be. In fact it was so far off, that Anas used a local on a moped to search the city for a car rental company, until he stumbled on a man in a shed. After he got paid some sheckles, he brought the minivan over to the hotel to pick up the mandem. It became apparent quite quickly, that sulawesi is a barren land with little infrastructure, with nothing more than shoddy shacks dotted around the area. As a white man never before spotted in these shit lands, Oliver got a lot of attention from the locals.
    - We headed west in the car towards the volcanic region, which is when the torrential and bipolar downpour began. After spending 2 hours on a quest to find any food clear of cholera, the realisation universally set in, that Manado really is a shithole. We even resorted to asking locals on the street to make us food, as the smelly shacks dotted along the dire streets were either shut, infested with diseases, or smelt like diarrhoea.
    - Eventually, we gave up and headed into an indomaret to grab some snacks and headed towards the mountains. Miraculously, we stumbled upon a cafe that looked suspiciously nice considering the barren lands surrounding it. We went in for lunch, which ollie and anas both thoroughly enjoyed, while emma with her stale chicken and nasty avocado coffee, wasn't having the best of times. After Emma dropped a log in the cafe, we continued on our drive.
    - Following ollies awful directions, we made it to the top of a volcano. However, the fog and rain made it hard to see much. Emma in her great wisdom thought white trousers and casual trainers would suffice.
    - Still in physical shock at how awful and barren Manado is, we began our drive to the northeast coast of the northern tip of sulawesi where we found accomodation to stay. A wasp entered the car at which point we all became feral.
    - After emma broke our bed, we headed back out to a food spot at the beach, at which ollie got violated by an old indonesian woman running the food stall.    Okumaya devam et
