Armchair question on SE Asia
I'm a week away from starting my RTW trip (US, Russia, Asia, Africa). Very excited, but I can't help but think occasionally about the route that Im NOT taking (the classis: UK to Aus), so please indulge this armchair question from a curious reader!
As you wind your way from Malasia through Indonesia, and towards East Timor, there's a lot more blue, and a lot less green. ie. islands, surrounded by water.
How far is it reasonably possible to get your bike, before you pack it in and ship/fly it to Aus? And, what's the riding like on those islands? The terrain, the roads, how many route choices, getting your bike to the next island, East Timor etc?
I know SE Asia pretty well from being a tourist in my 20's, back a ways, so I know the humidity/temperature/food / people etc in the golden triangle, thailand, malasia, borneo etc, I've just never wound my way down the island chain that far.
Keen to know, thanks
NY-Lon
