A trip to Sumba, Nusa Tenggara Timor, Indonesia
May 2018
It was a trip 20 years in the making. Almost 20 years to the day that I had travelled to Sumba, one of Indonesia’s 15,000+ islands in eastern Indonesia, with my father as a child I ventured to return to the island to visit a family we had maintained contact with since that time.
It is amazing how, despite day to day living remaining largely the same over that time, technology has evolved to allow us to stay instantly connected - we did keep in touch by mail/post previously, albeit with much more of a time lag and risk of loss in the mail journey.
