Update: further travel planning

Since 17.05.2023 we have been on Lombok. Our original plan was to stay on the island for five days. Then we wanted to continue to Flores to travel from there to Komodo Island. This is the only island in the world where Komodo dragons live. Unfortunately, we quickly realized that spontaneous travel is not that easy here. The ferries only run every two weeks and there are no direct flights since Corona - our first setback on our world trip. We needed a plan B!

Now we are sitting in the south of Lombok, in the rooftop bar of our hotel, drinking a delicious cocktail and writing this blog post.

Since we have to leave Indonesia on 30.05 and we are tired of island life, we are flying to Singapore for a city trip on Monday. After booking the flight, we started looking for a hotel. This is the second setback - the hotels in Singapore are incredibly expensive and do not fit into our budget. So we bit the bullet and booked a tiny hotel room without a window, which still exceeds our budget. We will take our time in the city and stay until next Saturday.

On 03.06.2023 we will then fly to the Philippines. In the city of Cebu, we have booked a hotel in a central location for two days. Since we long for self-cooked food and breakfast according to our preferences (time and choice), we have rented a beach hut for ten days through AirBnB after the two days.

We do not have any further plans. The big highlight coming up is Chris' 35th birthday. He doesn't know yet how he wants to spend it.

Currently, we are in contact with our guide from Vietnam and planning another motorcycle tour with him. So, we are already revealing our next destination, but the details are not yet final.
