Indonesia-bound

It's off to Indonesia for me, for three weeks.  It's a backpacking holiday and we (my wife and I) don't really like to plan hols too much, so I'm not quite sure where we'll end up.  But we're definitely going back to Bali, and very probably hopping across to Komodo, Rinca and Flores to get away from it all. 

We've spent a fair amount of time on Bali previously - probably over a month in total spread over a few trips.  Coffee never featured in those trips at all, so the fact that my growing obsession with coffee has opened up a chance to do something new on our holidays is a big bonus.

The Munduk area where the plantations are looks a little remote, hidden underneath the far side of a few volcanos.  It's certainly not a touristy area (thankfully!).  It can be too easy to langiush in the tranquility of Ubud and miss the surroundings, so it will be good to see a little of the real Bali, as well as hopefully learn something about the lives of the people who work in the plantations.

Should be good for a day or two, before moving on to Komodo for a bit of diving.
