Late March, 2023

In short: Volcanoes. Banana trees. Rice paddies. Pointed, terracotta-tiled temple roofs. Steep, narrow, winding roads along ridges. Steep terraces of vege plots. Papaya trees. Same green gas bottles as Sumatra. Tiny pineapples. All of the 1960s Land Cruisers, in all colours of the rainbow, in the southern hemisphere are all at Bromo. Helmets on 965/1000 scooterists. No such thing as car insurance. Japanese food and eateries. Incredibly (uncomfortable) upright car seat backs. Toll road cards attached to fly swats for longer reach. Being awoken by the call to prayer twice in the early morning, everyday.
