Belawan, Indonesia

Yes oh yes !. . In Belawan with team dahlia & team iguana cantabria chillin with some beers and topping it off with a whiskey on the rocks!. Managed to get the tuks on the indonesian highway for 32 k's without any coppers up our arse . . But defenately realised why the rickshaws not are allowed there. . Trucks passing you with 1000 k's an hour . . Wrooooom ! !! Next stop, malaysia ! @

North Sumatra, Indonesia

1: found out that our rickshaw had no air filter so we had to buy one. 2: Managed to end up in a guest house that was fully booked By insects, bugs and nasi goreng !. The tuks are hanging in there, but are under massive pressure! 3: the first propper wildlife experience was a snake cobra, right on the road. The last thing the cobra saw was the front wheel of a rickshaw.. Yaiks ! 4: were supposed to go up passing the tuk tuk island, but somehow ended up taking the wrong turn going deep into sumatra. Tomorrow we will reach Medan if the tuk wants to.. With team le dahlia !

, Sumatra, Indonesia

1 went "smoothly" with the official launch in jakarta and a well impressive police escort to the outskirts of the city. Crossed over to sumatera & arrived when dark. "tip no: 1" do not drive a rickshaw during dark hours. Our co-adventurists had a massive crash and rolled over after driving straight into the never ending potholes in the roads. No major injuries, but danm lucky they were. One Passport stolen and several mechanic visits today. Over and out ! @
