Our Defender is in Indonesia (Mould Everywhere!)

    There is mould everywhere… Our Home on Wheels needs LOVE!

    After three months away from our Defender, parked in Indonesia during the rainy season, we finally return to continue our world tour across Asia. But nothing could prepare us for the shock we faced when we opened the doorsโ€ฆ The inside of our home-on-wheels was completely ruined.

    Despite the damage, weโ€™re not giving up. In true Meridien Expedition spirit, weโ€™re rolling up our sleeves, and getting ready to explore the incredible island of Sumba one more time before continuing our overland journey across the continent.

    Join us as we tackle setbacks, rediscover our love for the road, and prove once again that nothing can stop the adventure.

    5. Welcome to Indonesia ..
      Hope you enjoy the natural beauty of Indonesia,
      happy exploring the nature and islands of Indonesia. I am waiting for you at the northern tip of Indonesia, Batam Island. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    6. So much Beauty! I really loved the waterfall and swimming hole! Your private Beach was very nice. It amazes me how you just know where to go on these remote roads. Your GPS is very good.

    7. Awesome video as always Mathilde. This was an epic adventure from the waterfall to the motorcycle ride. Especially the last campsite was so epic you could spend a couple of days there it was so peaceful there. Thanks for letting us ride along with you on your adventure.
