In Atambua, Indonesia.
I see the Spot tracker didnt update so far today. I am in Atambua. It’s the first biggish town since I crossed from East Timor to Indonesia yesterday. E.T. was a wonderful country. Stayed with family and police another night. Roads brutal! Its like being back in Latin America now, crazy drivers, children following me and staring by the hordes and the constant ‘ Mister where you going ‘ about 100 times a day, no exaggeration. Sometimes I got to go into my own world and tune out for my sanity, then sometimes I engage, wonderful people.
I got a bit of business to do. So Gotta run!
Got the following message from Michael Gillan, my wonderful crew man for Australia and yes I am missing him in this very hot and humid climate! Things are going slow for me at the moment but expect to start picking up the pace.
Just over 31,200km run for about 719 road days need to confirm this.
Thanks Michael, your recovery techniques are wonderful!!
I got so much catching up to do.
Talk soon, Tony

Hi Tony, great to hear from you from yet another continent and even if slow you are continuing, not an easy task without Michael supplying the coffee each morning. It’s just a new challenge in this world run. Keep focused and you will be turning into Ireland soon Ann

We spoke to Tony on the phone today and he has no Internet access. The roads are still very bad and it’s raining but he managed to run 40 kms today Sunday. He has been staying with a lovely family for last few nights and will be staying with them again tonight. He is in great spirits in Indonisia Ann
