No, I will neither give a lecture about the Kama Sutra  – we are currently cycling in a part of Java with a Hindu population and some ‘erotic’ temples, nor will I talk about the first man on the moon (1969), although it feels like we are preparing to cycle to the moon – is Sydney still down under or already behind the moon?
Then why the subject 69?

69 was the reading on the display of the scale that I jumped on this morning before leaving the Crown Victory Hotel in Tulungagung.

First time ever below the 70 kg mark in my adult life.
