Mopeds and More!





After Jubie’s moped lesson and a nice ride in the countryside, we stopped in a Mama’s Warung for a little dinner. We had fresh fish and shared a large Bintang beer after which we both felt very relaxed. Jubie wanted to drive the moped, Mary agreed as she was doing very well throughout the day. After a few photos with the guys from Mama’s Warung, Jubie climbed onto the Moped, Mary got on the back, and Jubie gave it a little gas and as she was trying to get to the left side of the road, forgot where the brake was and off they both went, across the road and into a tree (at about the slowest speed one could imagine possible). You could imagine the shock of our new friends at Mama’s Warung as they witnessed the rather hilarious event! The moped was unscathed, however Jubie and Mary sustained a few abrasions in the incident. Mary drove home and encouraged Jubie to drive one more time the next morning, the old “get back on the horse that threw ya concept”. It worked and the next day Jubie had a much more successful drive- we are certain it was the Bintang!
