BIOTAN ISLAND, INDONESIA

Great place this-close to Singapore-a resort island. Great run from the ferry terminal in the direction of the Biotan Lagoon Resort 10km out and back. Quiet road, great scenery through the bush-VERY humid.

SINGAPORE

Although Singapore is not a good place to jog, I managed to find a nice run from the cruise terminal at Harbourfront up to Mt. Faber and back. If you go up and over and then up Henderson Rd., you can get 10km out of it and you do the hill twice! It's only about 100m elevation according to my Garmin, but a nice run nonetheless.

TIOMAN ISLAND, MALAYSIA

Great 2 days here in Tioman Island. Great out and back 8km uphill across from Tioman Island Resort on the road across to the other side of the island. The road climbs up to 450metres before going down the other side. Stopped at the top and hurtled back down-gradient must be about 20%. Paid for it the next few days with stiff legs-great fun, though. Nice resort!

SEMARANG, INDONESIA

Nice 2 day stay here on Java Island in Semarang. Out and back 10km direction city-interesting, though a lot of traffic being an urban area. Next day early morning 8km direction west along the coast-rush hour. Next stop, Malaysia.

BALI, INDONESIA

Great 2 day stay here in Benoa Port, Bali. Nice 10km out and back from the port direction Kuta. Very humid so very draining. Next day out and back 7km the opposite direction. Great island, nice people, great food.

PAREPARE, INDONESIA

After leaving Australia after a great 2 months, we sailed up to Parepare, Indonesia, by way of Komodo Island. Parepare is a wonderful coastal town, very friendly people, very nice 5km on Monday out and back south from town along the coastal road. Then today, Tuesday, a rather hot and humid 8km along the same route. Very nice scenery-a lot of fish drying in the sun along the way.
