Recently we had to change our travel plans: Taifuns were causing floodings in the Philippines, so we decided to visit Brunei and Sulawesi instead. A bit sad to miss out the Philippines, but Sulawasi is a fascinating island! But we just noticed that we only have a couple of days left: Time to head back to Borneo!

It started off with caves, but the later works include complete multi-storey-temples made directly out of one single huge stone!!

Just imagine: The big temple measures 47×81 m2; they carved out 200.000 tonnes of stone!!!

GoogleMap - Southern India

There’s no way to summarize our impressions -  it feels a looooong and fascinating time we have been traveling by now. We wanted to do some thinking & planning, spend some leisure time – but that will just have to wait a little bit: India keeps you busy at least 100%!
