When a sailor crosses the equator they must give an offering to King Neptune. But what do you give, and what should you wear? As true Brits we dressed up for the occasion and sent a message from THE QUEEN.
In this episode we transform from pollywogs to shellbacks!
We take you to Pulau Asu, one of our top destinations in the western islands of Sumatra, where we spend a few days with Mama Silvi in her family-run beach home. She was there when both the tsunami and then more earthquakes hit the island in 2004/5 with some interesting geological results. As you’ll see from the footage this is a rather special place.
Life doesn’t get much simpler and gentler than right here.
Peace and fair winds!
Liz, Jamie and Millie
