my 3 sumatra weeks were GREAT :D i loved the sibayak volcano in berastagi with the crater filled with the names of those who passed by :) then the orangutans in ketambe and the super nice mus family!! mama mus made some excellent massages :) then the overnight trip to banda aceh was definitely a huge challenge as that is one scary trip!! pulau weh was gorgeous :) even if the weather was bad! the bungalow there has been my favorite room so far! then i went to lake toba, which i loved but found too touristy ;) had the motorbike accident, went to bukittinggi where i got a spectacular healing massage :) and then went to rest in lake maninjau :) because of the leg not being 100% well and of the strong winds delaying the boat to mentawai... i decided against going to visit that tribe and getting my mentawai tattoo. also lala's warning in bukittinggi got me thinking... and i definitely don't need a mentawai tattoo to be happy ;) i'm pretty happy without it, and without going to that island filled with malaria! maybe some other time when it feels right?!
the very best of sumatra was the people and the food, the incredible landscape, the music, and the amazing conversations with other travelers :) also the thoughts and feelings inside myself :) and that strong thing that traveling does... when i realize how much i have changed and i get to see my new fears and my new wishes and dreams clearly in front of me :) it's incredible how much the last 3 years have changed me! i'm still only starting to understand it! and i like it :) i love it :) i'm someone so different traveling now, it's so cool to feel that! so sumatra was also that for me :D now java is more of an in between thing, just on my way to bali! but looking forward to mt. bromo before i hop on to the mystic island xx
