Sirocco Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 So... Indonesia went well. We had to wait 2 months between Russia and Australia as we were container sharing. The cheapest place to fly to from Hong Kong and the cheapest place to live is Indonesia Lisa learn't to dive on the Gilli Islands, just off Lombok. We flew to Jakarta and traveled overland by local bus through Java, onto Bali, Lombok and out east to Flores where we went to the Komodo National Park. Whilst in Komodo, when Lisa was doing her PADI Open Water I went snorkling and among the hundreds of fish species I got to swim with turtles, manta rays and even a few black tip reef sharks, which although tame, does come at a shock when they are neary 2.0m long! The great news is after arriving in Melbourne our truck arrived soon after. It cleared customs yesterday and the inspection by AQIS we are so happy it didn't cost us anything more than the shipping handling and 1 inspection. cleaning and further inspections could have cost us upwards of $500AUD We also didn't consider the underneath to be that clean and were pretty worried. So, its now insured and we collect tomorrow! The fixing can begin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
