Well we made it. Sari Timur was flawless. The weather was a precursor for our Alaska crossing i.e. Cold wet and miserable. But we now know some of the things we need to be prepared for. We made it just over 10 hours. We will tuck in here for a couple of days and do some sight seeing, this is a tourist island sort of with a Mediterranean atmosphere. We will add more to this post as we explore.
Last night we decided to head to the local onsen and warm up. After a half hour in the various baths we were rather toasty and it was time to eat. We were in bed before 9 and slept all the way until eight this morning. Then today we hired a car for six hours to explore. We went to a soya sauce museum and worked our way up to an old abandoned temple. We were on a back coast road oohing and aahing at the various scenic views when we came to an abrupt end of the line as the road had washed out in front of us due to the heavy spring rains a few weeks back. We ended up backtracking almost to where we started in order to catch the main road which we used to circumnavigate the rest of the island. We sorted out some of the must see sights for tomorrow and used the last of the time with the car to reprovision. Look here for an update tomorrow.
