Up and at ‘em early. We’re off to Indonesia, but first a delicious breakfast at Alex’s place. Probably the last western style food I’ll get for at least a week or two until I reach Bali. The road out of Kuching is a big highway but it gradually got smaller and smaller toward the border … Continue reading Day 408 to 411 – Kuching to Banjarmasin – The Crash!

Day 405 to 407 – Brunei to Kuching
I was up early and keen to hit the road out of Brunei. Maybe another day or two would have let me see some sights but the pressure was mounting. I didn't really get a nice impression of Brunei and I wasn't going to use up my dwindling time and cash seeing more of it. … Continue reading Day 405 to 407 – Brunei to Kuching

The fueling issue might crop up again and force me back, but at least I'd be able to fix the damn thing then. I made it up to Penang without any issue though, … Continue reading Day 371 to 379 – Kuala Lumpur to Mae Sot, Thailand
Day 339 to 370 – Kuala Lumpur – Delays, Fixes and Phantom Problems
Landing into Kuala Lumpur I was a little out of it. It was 5am and I hadn't slept. I stumbled out to the cab stand and lumped up for a private ride into town. I couldn't be bothered trying to navigate public transport in this state with all my gear, a check-in bag, a guitar, … Continue reading Day 339 to 370 – Kuala Lumpur – Delays, Fixes and Phantom Problems
