    That was so totally enjoyable Daniel. Thank you. Your trip, especially the Timor section, has inspired me to make my way back there in 2025. I had big plans for an extended trip, east of Lombok, in 2020 - aduh, CORONA!!!!
    Your type of riding inspires me. Solo, just you and the bike and enough roads that are "of the grid" to make the ride a challenge at times. You will look back on this trip, when it's over, with great fondness.
    Your footage captures the savagery of the Monsoon in these parts. I well remember when I journeyed from Atambua to Kupang by truck in 1973. The route was via Kefa, Niki Niki and Soe. It took 36 hours. You could only do this trip in the dry season as there were few bridges. We spent a lot of time in the dry river beds searching for a low river bank so we could climb out and soldiers on.
    I love the blue of the Sea that surrounds Timor. And the people are just the best - so friendly and helpful.
    Have a rest up in Kupang. - one of my favourite Indonesian cities.

      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.

    I would not be surprised if the bridge would be gone, because around my place, i hear a lot of contruction and drilling, basically an average tuesday for me.

      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.
