Getting real

I just realized that I need to be packed and ready to go on friday. Weekend in Helsinki and the flight will leave on monday evening. I just booked myself a 21€ flight from Kuala Lumpur to Indonesia for September 7th. So initially not much of Thailand but mostly heading south to Malaysia and after that to Indonesia.

I have been checking out some surf camps and there are some quite appealing all-inclusive offerings for $35 per day. Food, accommodation, teaching and the gear. Could easily imagine doing that for a few days. I've also heard that there are lots of seasoned pro surfers around Indonesia willing to teach you for money, but still an actual establishment seems nicer to me.

But anyway... After arriving to Indonesia I will most likely stay in Medan for one night and then head towards one of the largest (if not the largest) calderas in existence: Lake Toba. I've heard quite a lot of positive things about the place so I want to see it for myself.

The next fixed date after that is around Septeber 28th when I should be meeting a friend of mine - probably somewhere in Malaysia.
