        Bali, Java, Sumatra, Singapore is the plan.
        First nights in Bali and last two nights in Singapore are booked, apart from that there’s still a lot of room (almost 4 weeks to be precise) for spontaneity 🤓

        Use it or lose it.

                  @Giles fair play to him, this is incredible. I wouldn't want to drive a fridge freezer between those mountains, let alone climb them when I got there

                      An oven would be a more useful appliance on cold peaks than a fridge!

                      The journey is the objective.

                          @Giles @weftyarn nothing much to hike in Singapore, but if you like walking, you can check this out
                          https://www.ostrichtrails.com/asia/singapore/orchard-road-walking-trail/

                          Or get over to our bukit timah hill, for a little small mountain walk.
                          https://thesmartlocal.com/read/bukit-timah-hiking/
                          pretty steep when going down...

                          And please, wear your shorts, drink more water and get hydrates! We are summer all year long!

                            @Scasi Thanks for the recommendations! Although I don’t expect us to have much left in our thighs after Java & Sumatra 😅
                            So it’ll more likely be us strolling around the city from cafe to cafe, enjoying the architecture, doing photography etc… - which Singapore is not the worst place for from what I’ve heard? 😃

                            So you guys actually wear shorts? Thought it was XHS & 21OZ only. Uh wait, they can be chicken legged right?
                            Jokes aside, we’re really looking forward to the warmer temps!

                            Use it or lose it.

                              Nothing better than hiking with cool friends who are locals that know their backyard - very well. Most of the spots were closed a few days ago so we had most of the NW park to ourselves.

                              Bears are a plenty, especially right after the snow thaw.

                                  @weftyarn LOL don't get fooled with the IG post of them wearing the heavy stuffs! But if you are indoor, like the mall, shorts or berms will be a bit too cold. I always have friends from overseas saying our indoor air-conditions is set too low!!!!

                                  yeah the photography part will be nice for you, check out the national gallery
                                  https://www.nationalgallery.sg/
                                  from here, you can have a great walk and into bars and cafe!

                                    After a month in Thailand and Malaysia, often without air-conditioning, I found the indoor temperature in Singapore to be a beautiful relief.

                                      Photos of myself in shorts is a rare sight, but I've been visiting this country park every Sunday for the last month or so on my long runs.

                                      Most beautiful day, glad somebody snapped a pic for me.

                                            @weftyarn love the 2nd and 3rd ones. I guess you’re running out of wall space back home but I think these two would look great hung together.
