How you got your bike to Indonesia, via Malaysia???? Would be very keen on the answer because we had a lot of trouble...
From Ende there was no Ferry for some weeks, broken... We wend to Larantuka, 3 boats a week at that time... 18h horrible boatride....
cheers

But getting to Larantuka, for me, is even more complicated to get to Ende, why should I go through the whole island of Flores, with the foul ways of which we spoke earlier.
I should add that in November in Indonesia has already begun the rainy season, but I can not get in Indonesia before the month of November, because otherwise would take the monsoon in India, nor do I get there much later, otherwise I would go in the winter in the southern hemisphere (Australia and South America).
But Larantuka the ferry arrives in Kupang or East Timor? Arriving at Kupang, again other problems to get it from there by land in East Timor
In any case, the information that I see (not only here) on the ferries between the islands of Flores to Timor are very reassuring for the times: "From Ende there was no Ferry for some weeks, broken ... We wend to Larantuka, 3 boats a week at that time ... 18h boatride .... horrible. "
About "How you got your bike to Indonesia, via Malaysia?? Would be very keen on the answer Because we had a lot of trouble ..." maybe there is a misunderstanding: I have not yet left Italy and I leave on the 10th ottbre 2013 and will arrive in Indonesia in November 2013. My travel plan is described here:
The transition from Malaysia to Indonesia should be simple: there is a ferry every day from Melaka to Dumai (Sumatra).
I MUST FIND AN AIRPLANE (MOTORCYCLE) FROM BALI TO DARWIN.
