Another shot from Sunda Kelapa...loading a schooner, one bag at a time, bound for Borneo. One of the guys said it would take them three days to sail there.

This looks great. I'd be a little scared about walking that plank though!

Good action shot, I think the health and safety people would have a fit if they saw the likes of it here lol.

@jamestan its complicated James my husband has just started working in Jakarta but we cant move with him because Macs subjects at school dont line up so we will remain in Cambodia until he finishes school in about 16 months. Meantime James (my husband) will commute and we get to visit him sometimes too. This is actually my second time living in Indonesia, my parents moved to Makassar when I was 6 weeks old for 5 years. We would love to visit Borneo!
