Namibia: everything is slow (and interesting!)

One of the things that happened in Namibia is that everything there is slow. It took a few days to get adjusted to that. People talking, check in, out, renting a car, filling up with fuel, buying from the supermarket… and the animals!

Java: Mt. Bromo, Ijen Crater, Madakaripura Waterfall

The holidays in Indonesia were quite easy to plan: I wanted to see Mt. Bromo and the friends wanted to go to Bali (me too). And it seemed natural for what I found on the Internet to end up in Yogyakarta: it seemed one of the cities in Java that was worth staying for a […]

One of the best guides in Bali: Yandira

Summary: I found a very good guide in Bali (sadly I found him on the fourth day that I was there). His name is Yandira, yandira77@yahoo.com, +628123982871, http://www.uniqubalitours.webs.com.
