Title: Belitung Entertainment

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

We arrived in Belitung and our little fleet were some of the last boats to arrive

We were on our way for some much needed provisions when we passed

these guys

A lot of time and effort is put into the performances

This event was an ongoing exhibition of men riding hobby horses ..... they

appeared to be in a trance like state

They danced their horses around in the hot sun for hours and hours

We're not sure why!
