exotic locales
Unfortunately I didnt do much touring in either Indonesia or S Africa. Indonesian roads are way too dangerous - the only time I went out was between 5:30 and 9:00 am on a Sunday morning when the main highway in Jakarta was closed to motor vehicles - just crowded then with joggers, roller bladers, cyclists and kids playing football. I used to do about 3 - 4 circuits, about 50 - 60 km and get off the roads before 8:30 and the ensuring mayhem!
Cycling in S Africa was avoided - the violent crime there is terrible and there were virtually no cyclists - you'd be mugged and shot for the bike! Sad world.
