Singapore - Indonesia - Malaysia (westcoast)

After a 2 day stop over in Singapore (to go to the Zoo) we left for Indonesia. Our trip started off in Jakarta and ended up in Ubud. We made our way down through the Island of Java stopping off Pagandaran where we visited the Green Canyon (tres beautiful) and then onto Mt Bromo where Pieter got his money shot!
From Java, straight through Bali as it was Ramahdan and Bali was busy, onto Lombok, not much to see there and it started to rain so back to Bali for our last few days in Ubud. Beautiful city but the tourist trade has dug its nails in.
Overall Indonesia was a fascinating country, the scenery, the people, the culture. It slaps you in the face with how different our lives are and we got to experience a 10 second Earthquake.
