TH0M's 2021 Java-Bali

[TH0M]

As per request of some of you, couple of pics from my last trip, 2000++ km  (1200++ Miles) From Bandung to Bali & back, riding my Motorbike / Scooter

First sighting of beach somewhere on Java's northern side, 200km West of Harbor crossing towards Bali
 

[TH0M]

on The boat, after about 900km, crossing from Java to Bali, bike tucked in, butt rested, arms scorched, sun's still bright

[TH0M]

"Griya / Banjar", local communal courtyard / plaza of usually couple family units

[TH0M]

During a visit towards Bali's north side, stopped in one of the temple on mountain top next to a lake that used to be a volcanic crater. Overcast sky all the way till sundown which is a nice change after all the scorching sunlight from the journey days before, cold but comfy weather with thick fog, up till the road leading back to the place where i was staying.

These local kids got nothing on me!

During one of the stops next to open wide paddy fields

bonus pic, my old ass shoes gave up after the first 1000km, right on my arrival in Bali, even though the ride wasn't that rough (aside from bad road condition here & there) the main inconvenience (for most people) was the monsoon season, rain with pretty high intensity on some sections of the journey (which i didn't mind at all, but still added couple of hours compared to all sunny day trip during the sunny season)

see you all later in game once my arms aren't as sore as they are

Great pics, man!  Had that vacation shoe thing happen to me once, too - at the start of 2 weeks in the Cascade Mountains camping - though it wasn't monsoon season and so duck tape for the win!

Cheers!

BROOOO I hate you :')... Bali has been in my heart for months now, and I'm simply waiting on beter covid times so I can go visit the beautiful Indonesian archipelago again... Between the breathtaking sights, people, food and culture, truly one of my most memorable places ever visited. Great pictures! Please share more

exactly, never go anywhere without duck tape! never know when my girl wanna get kinky (i.e. my bike)
I've had those shoes for years, about time it got busted, it's just the shoes' way of saying "heck yeah, i'm not going back, i'm staying here!"

i was thinking about asking for places you used to frequent just to make you hate me even more
i was planning to stay longer as well and taking more pics but old crappy phone of mine just had enough juice for navigation, and sudden work opportunity cut my stay in Bali short.

I'll prep better gear for the next one and i think i'll go even further, across Bali & towards Lombok & some of the smaller islands, heard the beaches are even better and more secluded

[whtz]

That is nice.

[Greasehole]

I didn't know that you're Indonesian. Try to visit my grandparents' house on the way back haha

wow nice pics reminds me of when I was in the Marines and traveled around Thailand and Singapore during deployment really fun to see the architecture of other places

Wow, it's definitely been awhile. Glad to hear your stories here.

 

AFAIK the farthest trip i did, is to from South Jakarta to Semarang and the next day, i went to Yogyakarta. 600km distance in total with car and breezy winds and short rainfall on toll roads~

 

But, that was a year ago if i'm not mistaken. Hope that i can get another trip Surabaya towards Bali some other time. My wishlist for travelling in future!

 

Have fun, TH0M~  Hope to see you around again-

Really nice. Consider me envious.

One day I will make a trip like this in south east asia.
