Yeah, hehe. Trying new stuff. Glad you noticed! Cheers!

Thanks. Great memories of Sumba. I think that place was Mr Davids. He died a couple of year's ago. I think his son Hamish is a famous actor in indonesia, married to a pop star. Can't wait for the next episode.

@@walterdavey4196not David’s unless it’s changed a lot since he died. Beach isn’t like that there either. Great episode Daniel!

Thanks. It means a lot to hear that from you. Cheers!

One of the best places I’ve been to. Great beaches, gorgeous roads (some of them) and amazing waterfalls!

Always!

Yeah, that shot was a stroke of luck. Early morning pee, right place, right time, hehe. Just happened to look out the porthole.

Every time I see those blue skies and blue seas - damn I want to be in NTT!! Excellent video. You really show what a ferry trip is like for the uninitiated. But, I am different to you, Daniel. Maybe I suffer from claustrophobia, but I just have to be topside, out on the open deck, out in the breeze. I LONG to be back in NTT and should be there in June. When last in Kupang, I took a ferry to Savu. It was packed to the gunnels as every item sold in Savu comes from Kupang. I didn't get off in Savu as my visa was expiring, so continued on to Waingapu Where did you stay in Kupang and what was the name of that hotel in Waingapu- it looked good. I am always on the lookout for recommendations If you intend to leave Sumba from Waikelo to Sape, there is a good place to stay in Waikelo. It overlooks the port and is called the "Redemptorist Villa". It's a church operated Conference Centre. They were lovely people and the food was good. I visited the Sumba Museum and Cultural Centre at Kodi. It was excellent. Established by a Catholic priest, Father Robert, to record and preserve the indigenous, animist culture of Sumba. In spite of opposition from conservative colleagues, he has persisted with this important project. Thank you, Daniel, for this very enjoyable video.

@@stevencampbell8465 Hello Steven, and thank you so much for your comments. Always loaded with great information and encouragements. In Kupang, I could recommend Home Stay Militia, which has very good AC rooms with hot shower, Smart TV and comfy bed, and is a 5-minute walk from the Bambu Kuning Se'i Restaurant, but my favourite was a place a few minutes further north called Kupang Inn. This was much cheaper, and while the room was much more basic, it came with with free coffee (and water) and excellent breakfast. the place is also used as "permanent" lodging for Afghan refugees awaiting processing for Canada and other places. Some of them have been there for over 5 years and they are nice people to talk to. The place seen in the video, in Waingapu in Sumba, is called Sacca Residence & Resto. It's reasonably priced and comfortable and while not included in the price, they offer great breakfast in the restaurant. With regards to my upgrading to VIP on the ships, I only do so when travelling overnight on journeys over 24 hours. I find it easier to keep an eye on my gear. But I'm with you with the top deck in the open air, whenever available. Cheers Steven!

Thanks for watching and for your comments Steven. By the sounds of it, it’s improved an awful lot since the 70s. That road from Atambua to Soe via Wini and Kefa was a joy to ride and in great condition. While I’m glad for the experience, I probably shouldn’t have gone through past the observatory as I ended up being a burden for these young lads who helped me through. That bit was way above my riding abilities. I did enjoy the many crossing through missing bridges on the way to Kupang though. Nonetheless, this is definitely one of the highlights of my journey and I would absolutely recommend putting West Timor on your itinerary for next year. Cheers!

@jekyllsride Thanks for the feedback, Daniel. Keep doing what you are doing. You are forging your own path and showing parts of Indonesia that are rarely visited. Thank you.

Hehe, lots of construction on most of the roads, but for some reasons, I didn’t see any at the missing bridges along the north west coast.

Yeah, they seem to go on any type of roads. Cheers!

I would love to go to Papua with my motorcycle. Maybe next year!!

Thanks Nebu! Take good care!!

Hehe, I miss you guys!! Thanks for watching my videos!

Hmmm, next time come with me and we can dance together, hehe

meet youagain Mr Jekyl

Hello! Thank you for watching my videos!!

@jekyllsride saya fendhy yang ada dalam video.. Salam dari fatunaus mr daniel

@@kapthen_oleng1138 Ow halo Fendhy! Apa kabar?

Hello Rara! I’m so happy that you wrote me a comment! I hope you liked the videos!!

Hello Nebu!! Thank you for watching!! I hope you liked the videos!

Your welcome Mr Daniel 😁 I really like content Mr Daniel 😁

yeah, it was, but I'm glad it's over, hehe

Yeah, in hindsight, I'm still glad I did it, but while going through it, I had massive regrets for putting the boys through this.

Yeah, I feel totally blessed, and grateful for them. Fine people all around, and to them, this isn't an adventure, it's just every day life.

Definitely. I had pretty much resigned myself to turning back before these guys showed up saying they went through on a daily basis. I'm sure glad they were there cause I don't think I could've done it without them. There was even another area near the end, where a bridge was missing and me and one of the guys walked around it on a narrow path, while the bikes took the tougher road, in darkness. Overall, from the observatory, it takes them about 2 hours. On that day, it took about 5.

Thanks mate. Not the kind of thing I want to be doing too often, hehe

Yeah, I got covered in ashes a few months back when I was in Flores. By the looks of it, it was just the beginning. I hope for your sake that it's over by May, but if not, head to Lembata, Timor, and Sumba. Lots of great riding there as well.

Yes, it was really enjoyable. However, you'll probably need to back track to get back. I don't recommend going through to the north coast this way, unless you love (and are good at) off-roading. Check out today's video to see why, hehe

Halo Risky!! Apa kabar? Thanks for watching!!

Yeah, West Timor is amazing that way

@@walterdavey4196 Timor’s had both the best and the worst of roads to ride on.

Thank you so much for watching Bogdan. Now I just hope one day I can go ride the beautiful roads of Romania

Yeah, I left you on a perfect cliffhanger, hehe

@jekyllsride cliff hanger...😂😂😂😂😂. Looks like you were hanging off a cliff. I guess I will be having my weekly dosage of the Jekyll next week 😁

@@StarkeyFamilyVideos I haven’t looked at all the footage yet. I just hope I have enough to tell a good story

As far as I can tell, Indonesians can go across and come back with no issues. For foreigners, it just depends on what country you are from. Canadians need a visa, and the last time I went through, I also needed some special (free) permit form the Timorese embassy in Jakarta to cross the borer overland. I recommend you check with the Timorese embassy for your particular case. Be sure to mention you want to cross the land border.
