INDONESIA

We had a wonderful reception in Indonesia. Kupang was our landfall and in spite of the poverty and rubbish everywhere the people were lovely and very helpful and the atmosphere vibrant. A welcome change from the sterile atmosphere of Oz. We spent our time cruising the islands of Nussa Tengerra. We saw the Komodo dragons and Ikat weaving. The reception at each island was tremendous often with the whole village turning out to greet us. Beware of the wildlife including the insects which can be deadly. The spider illustrated killed a young boy a number of years ago. We are now in Bali undergoing repairs to the deck and servicing. We will also find time to visit the tourist sites.
