Sunset from our bungalow on Simeulue island.
Before our 14 hour ferry from Singkil, we spent the day with two locals who took us on an impromptu canoe trip through a vast river network on the mainland. We spotted some elusive crocodiles along with monkeys and a herd of wild water buffalo. Rafe taught the lads to surf after a home-cooked picnic of rice, veg and fruit. Think they had us much fun as we did!
‘A beach so beautiful it makes grown men cry’. Quite the advertisement, so we made the trip to this deserted island about an hour’s ride from Simeulue. After swimming ashore from an anchored fishing boat, we spent a couple of hours frolicking in the waves.

Lex and Victoria flew in from London. Two weeks together was an absolute treat. Miss you guys already.
Our hosts, Roy and Yeni, organised a special braai for Victoria’s birthday. Fresh red snapper barbecued over coconut coals and banana leaves, washed down with cold Bintangs. So good.
