Latest update

After the disappointment of the football, we discovered the only boat to Borneo was leaving from Surabaya on Java 3 days later, so we cycled back 137km in one day to the ferry. Had a euphoric night watching NZ scrape a draw with Slovakia, then caught ferry and train to Surabaya. Overnight there and a boat journey who's estimated journey time from staff and other passengers varied from 23 to 48 hours. It took almost 60 including being stuck in a river mouth waiting for a high tide for 11 hours! As a result we missed the football - no bad thing by the sound of it, but I did get Indonesia commentary, and even that sounded bad. Come on you Kiwis tonight! Now recovering in Pontianak, Indonesian Sumatra (Kalimantan), before the ride to Kuching.
