Departing Australia

The last days have been rather busy without being too stressful. We had a look at Pete and Sal's boats at the "Sydney International Boat Show" and saw Laura play Hockey in the olympic stadium but most of all we had to concentrate on getting everything organized for our very first Asia-Trip. We both are very excited to experience something so very different to what either of us has ever done before and can't wait to get into that damn plane that will take us there. The plan is to get everything sorted out in Kuala Lumpur, get over the jetlag and see whats going to happen next... I love it. We don't really have an idea where we will end up, whether we skip Java to have a bit longer in Bali or if we take on the whole way by bus. Either way we are going to have a great time... except we catch one of the deadly diseases which are flying around over there.
However we are getting more and more excited, checking everything we packed twice to be sure we don't forget anything but I'm sure you know exactly how we feel.
We also started to learn some Indonesian tounge to make a good impression even though that impression won't last too long because we really don't know much. But isn't it the first few seconds that count? We'll have to lay all our hopes in that.
I don't really know about the internet over there so this might be the last entry in a long time... or I'll be able to update the blog tomorrow so don't give up on us, check it regularly and don't loose hope when there's no sign from us. We might just be stuck in a place without internet.
We hope to see all of you again and with this in mind we say
"SELAMAT TINGAL"     May your stay be blessed!
