Our routine over the past 2 months has become systematic. Wake up, take care of business, breakfast, pack the bags/bikes, find out how far to go, plug in the Ipod and set off. So once again we were off aiming for the final destination in Sumatra - Bandar Lampung. Bandar Lampung is the major hub between Sumatra and Java for travelers which made it a rather big city with many hotels, restaurants and western food. After my food poisoning a few weeks ago I had been struggling to get back into the swing of eating any sort of rice. So Dylan and I decided to head straight for Pizza Hut and demolish a large pizza each.
To be able to eat cheese was an incredible taste for me. We only had a short ride and after checking in to our final hotel in Sumatra we went in search of the bus/ferry service which would take us to Jakarta. That evening saw us demolishing burgers and steak - our red meat dream. When we left the restaurant we came across a small concert in the shopping mall. As Dylan went to collect the camera I was approached by a reggae influenced man who claimed to be a performer.
Sure enough after an interesting conversation he jumped up and stage an performed his tribute to Bob and Ziggy Marley after which he kindly dedicated the song to his new Australian friends, ‘Rian and Dylan’. We listened on and felt that it was the perfect end to Sumatra. Adrian then chatted with us further after his concert and was interested to keep in contact. Dylan and I both joked that it would be great if we could time with the release of his upcoming album a soundtrack for our movie. We mentioned this briefly and he seemed interested which opened up the door for us to work together. We will keep you guys updated with this latest news and hope to be able to introduce you to Adrian and his band throughout our final movie.
