Borneo and Java

Here he meets orang-utans and a friendly rainforest tribe once known for headhunting. Finally, the intrepid actor crosses the equator en route to Java, where he visits the Buddhist temple of Borobudur. He also climbs an active volcano - but it's not long before Mother Nature ruins his plans to travel to Australia in style
