Indonesien 2018

So dear ones, here are my final lines for this trip. Early at 6 o'clock, Ryan was ready for me once again and took me to Maumere airport. Now it was time to say goodbye Flores...

My last destination in "Flores" should not be "Ende". I have chosen the area around "Maumere" for this. Is this destination also close to the end of my journey this year? Full...

Actually it would have been mostly a wasted day, one where you drive from A to B, eventually maybe even arriving at your destination and the day is basically history. However,...

Off to the airport, check-in half an hour before departure and then a 30-minute flight towards 'Bajawa'. The airport is very small and consists only of a small house next to the...

So my dear friends, it's time to leave Sulawesi and visit another island of the Great Archipelago. I have chosen Flores. And to get there, I first have to take the night bus...

Another highly interesting and scenic destination where I am heading. At 10 o'clock, the car arrived at the hotel which took me to Poso for the next 4 hours, a small town...

It's 4 PM and there are still 2 hours before, according to the plan, the ferry leaves the port in Gorontalo. I already have my ticket and my spot on the ferry for the next 12...

On the wooden bench at the back of the pickup truck, I went back from Batu Putih to Girian, where I made a stop of about 2 hours. It took that long for the bus to finally fill...

At the 'Pal Dua' terminal, the bus was finally full and it started towards Girian. After about an hour, we arrived there and had to get off. The usual bunch of taxi drivers were...

Okay, now finally just let time stand still, that's my plan for the next 4 days. My pre-booked guest house was in the middle of the forest and was deserted by all souls, meaning...

... in the far north of the island lies the city of Manado, yes I am now in Sulawesi. Sulawesi! It already sounds exotic and refreshing to me. And that's exactly how it is, I...

The driver organized through Grab arrived 15 minutes early at the hostel, but well, something great awaits me, nothing holds me back so let's go. Within 30 minutes, he took me...

...Surabaya... A city I could explore with a submarine, one might think. It's not quite like that, but I start my little tour with a visit to a submarine, which served as an...

The train takes me leisurely within 4 hours to my next point on the map of Java. This one is located at the very end with a view of Bali and is called Banyuwangi. There, I will...

The next section of my journey lasted eight and a half hours. My next destination was the relatively small and tranquil town of Probolinggo, the gateway to Mount Bromo. The road...

Yogyakarta meiner Ansicht nach die Stadt der vielen Bunten Becak (Fahradrikscha) und Ojec (Motorisierte Rikscha). Im großen und ganzen wirkt die Stadt sehr aufgeschlossen, bunt...

At 4 o'clock the alarm clock rings again because I want to go up high to the "Sunrise Point" in the hope of few clouds or fog I sit on the back seat of a motor scooter and we...

The night was short, only 5 hours to be exact, but as an individual traveler, you have to deal with it. I walked along Braga Street towards the train station. It was just...

I took the Trans Jakarta bus to the outskirts of Jakarta to the "Pulo Gandung" Bus Terminal, where the bus to Bandung, my next destination, was supposed to start. However, all I...

Welcome (Herzlich Wilkommen) A year of waiting is over and it is time for me to fulfill another wish goal. So I set off from Frankfurt am Main again and landed 15 pure flight...
