i left dili on a mikrolet that played 'the summer of 69' twice :D and also my favorite indonesian hit song :) so it was the perfect transition! as soon as i crossed the border i was thinking 'now people will start taking me everywhere on their motorbikes again' and as soon as i think that, literally 5 or 6 steps after the border... a motorbike stops "hello miss, you want to go there" "yes, terima kasih" "let's go" and off we went :) then it was 9 hour till kupang and when i switched to my indonesian sim card i had a text welcoming back to the west :) by edwin from the avalon cafe in kupang :) and it just feels GREAT to be back!
today around 4pm i will take a ferry to larantuka in flores and there i'll try to get a connection to lamalera, a village that sounds like the setting of moby dick with its whale hunters and little else than the bars where they hung out...
i love indonesia :) and LOVE island hopping!
(have actually been offered a job running the cafe and the hostel here and organizing cinema night in kupang... and with the job comes also my own stretch of land in a small paradise island!!! and a little boat to take me back and forth!)
