Indonesia

We spent the festive season in Bali, at a sweet secret spot, surfing perfect crystal clear reef breaks. Its was so goood to relax after a pretty intensive time travelling. We went to a huge party around the bay for new years eve which was pretty crazy, a few of us getting interviewed for indonesian tv, dancing on stage in front of a couple thousand people, night time surf comps. I dragged myself home over the cliffs for new years day sunrise.
We also explored the rest of bali in a huge van, climbing a volcanoe for sunrise, pretty awesome, the last time it erupted was in 2000. It was still steaming!

I'm now in Oz, staying on a 50ft yacht in Brisbane harbour, driving down to sydney in a couple of days. When I get my computer from those bstrds in customs i'll be able to post some recent images.

Big love

Vang Vieng


Looking through my pics, i found this one and its certainly worth publishing, it pretty much sums up the life in loas.

Jons Crash


Jon was rather shaken up, we got the bikes back without having to pay for the damage which is always a bonus. Jon loved retelling the tale to all who asked. He slid out on a narrow sandy corner, sending the bike into the verge. Watch out for those pesky sandy corners!

Sunset crash


This was an awesome sunset in northern vietnam, at this exact moment, Jon was flying off the cliff taking his motorbike with him.

Tomb-raiding



Used in that infamous Lara Croft movie, that is really best forgotten.

Best Playground in the world


Dozing in the midday sun under trees and then getting charged by a hyper school group.

Getting lost in Angkor Wat


There is over 120sqkm of the angkor wat temples to explore, its really good to get lost, deep inside.

Angkor Wat



I was lucky enough to spend 3 days at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, I've been meaning to post these pics for a while but after not having decent net connection in Indonesia over xmas, i never got around to it. So here are some of my favourites. Sunrise over the temples was pretty awesome, remind me to show you the video sometime.
