Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa - a motorcycle odyssey. Tambora - the mountain that b

Those who read Tim Hannigan's excellent and informative article on the history of the biggest explosion in recorded history - the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora on the island of Sumbawa http://www.historyinanhour.com2012/11/16tambora-eruption1815/ might like to take a look at this piece which has just been published in Australian Road Rider magazine: "Tambora: the mountain that blew its top." It is an account of my climb up Tambora and concludes the motorcycle odyssey across the islands east of Bali. Go to: http://journals.worldnomads.com/merantau/ There are also photos of Tambora and environs in the various galleries.
