Part 28: Almaty to Indonesia
In general, motorbikes and a lot of salt water is not a good combi so I packed my Honda Cub in a wooden box and sent her home.
Flying from Almaty to Indonesia, wich was a bit weird after being on the bike for such a long time.
A new adventure in an adventure, its called.. airports
In Indonesia Ill buy another little Honda and continue the big trip Down Under.

Thanks Dave, it is beautiful, youre right. But unfortunately Indonesia is very polluted en not a lot of wildlife is left.
Such a shame.

Now I'm not tempting fate here. But how many times have you fallen off on this trip. Hopefully none.

TBH I think it was the right call. It was bad enough when I had to commute in pouring rain every day putting on wet kit till your days off when there was no dry kit left.
As a leisure/lifetime trip why suffer
