IMG-20150723-WA0002WP_20150724_14_36_46_ProSo we are off again on the 20th July for another Indonesian adventure on the Classic’s.  Going by our experience last time we will be a lot more prepared this time for what lies ahead.  Of course there will be lots of laughs, great food and awesome people.  The Classic’s never let us down last time and we are certain that will be the case this time around too.
