There are also things I didn't like. Travelling for 30 hours to get there and back wasn't fun. Nor was the crazy driving. Coming from the long days of British Summer Time to it being dark at 6pm was completely weird - it felt like 11.30 pm at 7.30 pm.
We did some amazing things - we went to Borobadur, a 1300-year-old Buddhist temple, made of interlocking blocks of lava. We saw a volcano. We went to the beach and body-boarded in the Indian Ocean. I became 29. We saw rice growing. We survived spending 30 hours together on a plane without going mad.
And we rode on elephants...
How cool is that?*
The whole visit kind of made me want to go and live in a foreign culture and learn a new language again. And kind of made me very glad to live exactly where I do...
*The tour guide at Borobodur, who was very knowledgeable and interesting, thought he was taking photos but actually pressed the video button by mistake...

Happy birthday. (Don't you need to be 30 to ride an elek?)
Clearly not.
I thought it was 40. Not that you ever get far enough to know...
Nah they changed it to 30 whilst you were away.
The things you miss whilst your off in exotic places enjoying yourself...
Selamat Ulang Tahun.
