The Things You see..

​Having ridden in Vietnam many times now, it takes a lot to surprise us, particularly with what people can carry on their scooters. This guy did a pretty good job though and we saw him carrying two panels an hour later!
We are now two days into our ride across Java and all is going well, despite the humidity. As we were advised, we are drinking plenty and keeping on the move as much as possible. As we mentioned in a previous post, we have shipped all our camping gear to Kyrgyzstan and are so glad that we did as it's an absolute relief to reach our accommodation, where airconditioning and cold showers are definitely the order of the day! We pay £14 a night for our rooms, which is pretty good value.
Tomorrow we are hoping to visit Mount Bromo, an active Volcano that isn't too far from where we are tonight. Java is an amazing place but it is the most populous island in the world, so the roads are a bit mad here to say the least!
If you haven't already done so, please visit our website www.2upfromdownunder.com and subscribe to our YouTube channel from there (free to do). We are supporting two great mental health charities through our ride the more subscribers we get the better for raising money and awareness of these two great causes and the work they do, Black Dog Ride in Australia and Mental Health Motorbike in the UK. Please help us to help them.
