The Purple Shall Rule!
Flight to Indonesia: After living in South Korea for three years, I shipped all my belongings back to South Africa and sold the rest. I had the trip of a lifetime ahead of me – just me, a bicycle and the open unplanned road of Indonesia. Adventures waited in anticipation; with random strangers, Indonesian food and sore muscles. I left South Korea with millions of memories and sunk deep into the seat of the Air Asia aircraft, face to the window, silently weeping goodbye to the land of the morning calm. Air Asia, the budget airline of the Orient, is a gift from the heavens to anyone who is on a budget - inexpensive, safe, on time and professional. I spent two months in Indonesia, cycling from one town to another in Bali, hopping on long ferry rides to reach Lombok and the popular Gili Islands while enduring the tropical climate.
I stood in awe of volcanoes, walked on black sand beaches and got chased by monkeys. I slept in questionable beds, climbed into rocky boats and trusted strangers with my passport. The people on the road became friends, goat meat skewers became a favourite and a no-plan-vacation turned into a no-plan-budget-bicycle-tour of a lifetime.
There is nothing quite like it – the freedom, the unknown, the challenges and the road, not knowing where you may end up or what the next day will bring…but unfortunately, with an expired visa, it came to an end. Anje Rautenbach
