Title: Safe travel in Sumba Post by: guest on February 14, 2005, 07:19:36 PM HI, I am returning to Sumba in May 2004 for three weeks. How is the current situation in Sumba? What is the general feeling of European travellers and will we be welcome?
Its a possibility we will be visiting Lombok and the Gilli isle, is it safe? Any information would be greatly appreciated! Terrima kassi! Mark Title: Re: Safe travel in Sumba Post by: guest on February 14, 2005, 07:19:45 PM mark,

Thanks for the reply! its difficult to get up to date information! I was last travelling through Sumba when the afghanistan war started so i`m hoping things havent changed too much as the people were great then. From what I can make out at the moment sumba and flores seem pretty stable! Have many people still been travelling through indonesia since the bali bombings? I would expect a few!! maybe its a good time to go! thanks again mark Title: Re: Safe travel in Sumba Post by: guest on February 14, 2005, 07:20:45 PM Does anyone else have any further information?

About two days ago, in Bali just arnged an ceremony regarding Bali Bombing. In Kuta I see everything is okey, except several days ago we have some hard wind and some road being repaired due rainy season. Generally everything is ok. Title: Re: Safe travel in Sumba Post by: guest on February 14, 2005, 07:21:11 PM I was on the beutiful Island of Sumba for just three days.
But I explored at least most of the west side of the Island by car. Stopped at a few villiges, having laughs and shared drinks with the locals. Everyone I met was warm and welcoming, even the muslims even doe I´m westerner and had a few Beers. It´s a beutiful Island with nice beaches. I had no problems, but be careful ewerybody wears big Knifes. |
