come on!
in about four hours i'm going to embark on an epic forty five hour ferry trip across nusa tenggara, from lembar in lombok to ende in flores. i have no idea if the ferry is spacious and well equipped, or a glorified, hole ridden, fishing boat, but i cannot wait to get on it regardless. it's become increasingly evident to me in the last three days, as i've been waiting for my departure, that i must be the most impatient person conceivable: if i'm not actively doing something all the time i get very bored, very quickly. even the glorious beaches at senggigi could not stop my itchy feet kicking in.still, if i manage to squeeze in everything i'd like to in indonesia, the next few weeks are going to be sublimely hectic... maybe i'll appreciate this hiatus in the near future. i had no idea i could sleep so much: whenever i wake up i know that, if required, i can get up and achieve things, but equally if desired i can go straight back to sleep for as long as i'd like. that's the thing about travelling i suppose, you're always running a sleep deficit, especially if you're a fidgety sunrise obsessive, so your body gulps down what shut eye it can when it can. i just hope i got enough in the last three days to see me through the next three weeks.
