Indonesia is a continent more than a country, it would take months to get just a taste. The most populous nation in South-east Asia, the largest Muslim community in the world! And of course, islands, lots of islands: no less than 13,667 - we'll have to make a choice there! They stretch over 6,000 km, approximately the distance from Moscow to Ulan-Bator!
Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan and Flores are the ones we do not want to miss. All the others.... we'll see according to the time left, the budget, the weather, our mood, or... we'll see.
