Back on the Road

Yesterday we hired a driver for 300,000 rupiah...about $30.....he drove us about 2 hours north to a main attraction on the island...a very large volcano. Puta was the safest driver ive ever seen in these conditions and got us there and home safe and sound. He did have to bribe a police officer for having two white guys in a non licensed taxi but whatever! We took his toyata van....he paid for all the gas and parking fee at the various attractions and got us home all for $15 each. Had dinner with a married couple from boston who have been travelling on credit for 8 months. Today on the road to Amed and some beach/snorelling time. Did mess up yesterday and bought stupid heavy stuff so now im totally weighted down for the 2 hour mad scooter ride! oh well. anyway....back to the lizard and spiders and such...sorry for the lack of pics....dialup connections at best.
