Indonesia XXIX

Travelling in Indonesia means you wait 3 hours to get out of one harbour, then you cross the channel on the ferry in 2 hours before waiting another 3 hours in the middle of the other harbour to finally get on land again

Waves again!

-> Surfing!! all pictures: Sara Girometti

Flat spell

-> Waterfall!!! 40m cool and wet (see human at the lower left corner of the waterfall). On the way there and back I only had to pick up around 30 leeches each way from my legs.

a little boat cruise

Went on a boat with a few other surfers for 5 days to get uncrowded surf that can't be reached by land. Here our boat (all pics: Aaron Jackson):

and that's what we came for...

How to... fix a snapped leash

Somewhere in the backcountry and your last leash snapped? You can say what you want about the Indonesians, but they sure know how to fix things. Here the bulletproof fisherman-fix of my leash:

Unemployed

My time in Cikananga is finished, jobless again. Means I'm back at the ocean...

Rawa Danau II

A few advantages of the life as a biologist:
1. the view from the place I'm staying:

2. my workplace (all you can see and even more):

3. on the way to my desk:

4. one of my countless desks:

Rawa Danau I

At the moment I'm at Rawa Danau, a lake that silts up in Northwestern Java (at the moment in the state of swamp). There, some Black-Winged Starlings will be released. Here we're just putting up the Release-cage.

this way and similar are the views over there...

This ain't original!

One of the countless Agriculture-Custombikes here. So you can drive around with even more ricebags on your bike. The green plastic-container is the new tank. Those bikes are officially not even allowed in Indonesia. But no one cares...
