After years of dreaming and months of planning I set off to Indonesia at 06:30 this morning for a 26 month placement organised by Voluntary Service Overseas. The last six weeks have been a long round of fairwells and the last one took place at Heathrow as I waved goodbye to Steve and Sonya. The airline allows 20kg free luggage and VSO will pay for a further 5kg - my bag weighed in at a hefty 27kg but somehow I managed to get away without paying any extra. It was suggested I transfer some to my hand luggage but as this was over 10kg I was not keen!

Well the adventure has really begun. There were four of arrived at Denpasar airport at 13:00, we were met by an established volunteer and a member of staff. The others are:-
Sam - 30 year old Dutch IT whizz
Dorothea - 27 year old German IT systems guru
John - 24 year old English systems and processes bod
As I get to know them better I am sure you will to.
We were taken to Sanur - a beach resort and left in our guesthouse; Yulia 1; to relax on the porches and start to get aquainted.
