Timor island has been run!
My first of 7 Indonesian islands has been run albeit with some difficulty due to the horrendous amount of traffic. Wonderful, friendly and helpful people.
I had planned on getting the ferry to Flores island today but understand they have been cancelled this last few days due to high winds. Cant wait!
I just booked a flight for Saturday to Ende, so perhaps Saturday may be a rest day also.
I am being helped enormously by Ferdinand a local that met me on the road a couple of days ago.
Thanks so much Ferdinand. I am staying in the Lavalon accommodation which is a kind of a backpackers.
31,495km for 727 road days – thats from memory.
Talk later if possible, Tony
PS Just been told that on the island of Java that the word ‘ Mangan ‘ means to eat, imagine that

Why am I not surprised at the meaning of Mangan, those locals are lucky you don’t eat the legs off their tables with your appetite
