06.07.2009 Look, there are our cycling legs After having a hard time on the bicycle from Makassar to Parepare, we have found our cycling legs again. A good thing as well, as two tough days lay between us and the mountain highlands of Tana Toraja. Complete article

08.06.2009 South Sulawesi is a pain in the gut So, we have started cycling in Sulawesi after all. However, we didn't finish the first section, South Sulawesi, as quickly as anticipated. For once, it wasn't us being lazy - I ate something bad and needed some recovery time.

27.05.2009 Fierce dragons, the PELNI demons and a dilemma Yes, this episode of the travel logs will bring you such dramatic climaxes as Adrian and E! hunting for dragons, fighting off the curse of the PELNI experience and in the end, they still find themselves in a bit of a pickle. And all of this without having cycled even one kilometer in over a week. Complete article

18.05.2009 We have traversed Flores Island! So, here we are in Labuanbajo, the western tip of Flores Island and the jumping off point to Komodo. Believe me or not, but after 622 kilometers and 8,918 meters climbed on a bicycle, I am currently suffering more and wish I had to climb up a 1,000 meter mountain pass. Complete article

10.05.2009 Lazy days and bad weather For the past few days, we have been chillin' here in the town of Bajawa. One reason obviously was to give our legs some recovery time. But another reason is the weather. Complete article

22.03.2009 In the beginning there was an escape plan. When I planned to study in Australia, I already had my escape planned. Complete article
