One hundred and forty kilometers of the most beautiful and most tiring road so far.
Seven hours on the Flores Sea, then islands appearing one by one out of the dawn mist.
From Kayangan to Poto Tano, then a long, dry road to Sumbawa Besar, a day ahead of plan.
From Ubud to Padangbai, 59 downhill kilometers to the start of the long ride to Rote Island.
The morning ferry from Ketapang, a new island across the water, and Dinda waiting at the end of the ride.
Two days waiting out the rain, then one full day on the tarmac. Solo, Ngawi, Kediri, and a bowl of bakso at the end.
