About me
We travel to Indonesia regularly. Our favourite places are Flores, Lake Toba, Lombok and Sumbawa. Also a special place in Bali.
First trip to Indonesia was 36yrs ago a three month bus trek from Sumatra down to Bali. Heaven. We love to discover the Indonesia from those days but also like the luxury one can experience today.
Love almost everything about Indonesia.
