Rise and shine for a Borobudur sunrise

September 30, 2018September 30, 2018 / therollingstonesweb / Leave a comment

It seemed that we were destined to have very little sleep in Indonesia as we dragged ourselves out of bed for our 4:30am taxi. David was up to see us off; he gets up to pray at 4am everyday anyway, because that’s the only time he has spare in his day. Lise and Davide joined … Continue reading Rise and shine for a Borobudur sunrise

Going rural in Cianjur, Java

September 28, 2018September 28, 2018 / therollingstonesweb / Leave a comment

Jakarta airport won us over instantly with their whimsical fire extinguishers. Everything that we had read about Jakarta suggested that we should spend as little time there as possible so we had arranged a car to pick us up from our flight and drive us south to the decidedly non-touristy town of Cianjur. We maintain … Continue reading Going rural in Cianjur, Java

Turning 30 in Kuala Lumpur

September 23, 2018September 23, 2018 / therollingstonesweb / Leave a comment

We rounded off our Malaysia trip with a couple of nights in KL and James suggested that it would be nice to have a bit of luxury as it was also Caro’s 30th birthday whilst we were there. The main criterion was a bath, which isn’t the easiest thing to come by in Malaysia but … Continue reading Turning 30 in Kuala Lumpur

Semenggoh Nature Reserve

September 19, 2018September 19, 2018 / therollingstonesweb / Leave a comment

We’d had such a great time at Sepilok and were keen to see some more Orangutans so, on our third day in Kuching, we set off for Semenggoh Nature Reserve, which is about half an hour outside of town. There is a bus that you can catch from the waterfront but we are slightly embarrassed … Continue reading Semenggoh Nature Reserve

Lovćen National Park Loop Walk

September 16, 2018 / therollingstonesweb / Leave a comment

As promised, below is a step by step guide for a loop walk in Lovćen National Park. This is purely a walking guide, if you would like to read our blog about the National Park you can find it here. We parked at the National Park Visitor Centre but you can also park in front … Continue reading Lovćen National Park Loop Walk

The time James melted in Kuching

September 14, 2018 / therollingstonesweb / Leave a comment

We used Kuching as a base to explore Sarawak mainly venturing out in the mornings and evenings to avoid the scorching midday heat. The main sites of Kuching can be easily explored on foot in a couple of mornings, starting with a stroll along the waterfront where we sampled some of Kuching’s famous layer cake, … Continue reading The time James melted in Kuching

Cruising the Kinabatangan River

September 8, 2018September 8, 2018 / therollingstonesweb / 3 Comments

For our visit to the Kinabatangan River we opted to book a whole package through Sukau Greenview B&B, rather than organising each aspect separately ourselves. There are relatively few budget options for organised tours but they had good reviews and reasonable prices. We knew that both the accommodation and the food would be basic but … Continue reading Cruising the Kinabatangan River
