Can’t believe that I have been trav­el­ling already for six months. Time flies when you’re hav­ing fun, right? Any­way, time to have a look at that past half year!

Some of the things that happened or that I did:

1. Bought a car in Aus­tralia, drove it for 7000 km and then wrecked it!
2. Watched two sperm whales, five pigs and one turtle get hunted, killed and gut­ted in Indonesia
3. Had 9.473 unique vis­it­ors, which isn’t that much really, but my thanks go out to those boys and girls that do drop in for a visit and maybe even leave a comment!
4. Climbed the vol­cano on Lom­bok and lost four toe­nails in the process
5. Drank far too much Arak/Sopi/Palm Wine!
6. Almost froze to death in Canberra
7. Took 4 dif­fer­ent Pelni boats and was the only for­eigner on any of them
8. Sur­vived the Out­back
9. 37 people have sub­scribed to my eng­lish feeds and 4 to my ger­man feed
10. Dived Alor and snor­kelled Banda, two places I had been want­ing to visit for years
11. Vis­ited 4 coun­tries (Oz, Eng­land, Indone­sia, East Timor) and 3 continents
12. Spent 8000 EUR on God knows what!
13. Saw the Komodo Dragons and did not get bit­ten, yeah!!
14. Sailed the Whit­sundays. Loved that and just remembered I didn’t even put a post about that online. Well, it was only a day trip, but to make up for it, have a look at the pic­ture on top!
15. Saw my first two Wom­bats and then acci­dent­ally killed them both with the car. I added some ser­i­ously bad karma on to my shoulders that night!
16. I received 4 dona­tions totalling around 90 EUR and my Google ads cam to about 15 USD, so that’s almost my host­ing fees for another 3 years, which doesn’t mean I’d reject more dona­tions or would frown at people click­ing on me ads!
17. Vis­ited gor­geous Kelimutu again
18. Man­aged to brush up on my Bahasa Indonesia
19. Worked a lot on my tan
20. Read like 30 books
21. Wrote 29 posts (actu­ally 30 includ­ing this one), which could have been more, but I was prob­ably too busy sun­bathing or reading!
22. Took about 8 GB worth of pic­tures, of which maybe 2GB were worth tak­ing. Have a look at the pho­tos I put online!
23. Man­aged to free dive down to 25m with a dive time of 1 minute 37 seconds on Banda
24. Was involved in a motor­bike acci­dent in Indo
25. Was kind of involved in a car acci­dent in Indo, which provided a fas­cin­at­ing few hours for the loc­als that happened to be there
26. The aver­age life expect­ancy of my sun glasses dropped down to roughly a day
27. Met some great people and a few weirdo!
28. Man­aged to teach an Amer­ican how to open a beer bottle with a lighter, which was hard work!
29. My Google Page Rank went on a roller­coaster; from 2 to 3 down to 1 up to 2 down to 0 ; I must be doing some­thing wrong, but hon­estly, I couldn’t give a mon­keys bum!
30. Vis­ited the young­est nation on earth!
