Volcanoes at sunrise, dirt bikes through lava fields, caves you rappel into at noon, street food eaten under curious stares, and a weekend sprint through one of the cleanest cities on earth. This leg of the trip took me across Java on trains, scooters, and questionable buses before dropping me straight into the neon efficiency of Singapore. It’s a story packed with dust, sweat, spontaneous plans, and just enough comfort at the end to catch my breath before the next border.
