We left Cianjur at 5am to catch a bus to the train station. Yudi assured us at that time in the morning there would be no traffic so it would only take 2 hours. We left with 3 hours to get there just in case the bus decided to cram more people on than the last one. It did. At 7 we still hadn't got on the motorway and were starting to panic as our train was at 8. At 7.30, when we got stuck in a traffic jam, we had resigned ourselves to the fact that we had missed ...

We flew to Bandung airport in Java for the second half of our Indonesian adventure. Since we had heard only bad things about Jakarta we knew we didn't want to go there if possible. The guide book recommends a homestay in a town called Cianjur. I normally Tripadvisor a place to death before I agree to stay there but this place wasn't on Tripadvisor.

The island that we liked the look of takes 3 days to get there and 3 days to get back and considering we only have 2 weeks in Indonesia we had to rule that out! We had heard a lot of bad things about certain places in Bali such as t...

Bore da, sut wyt ti? (Good morning, how are you for the English followers!) I once again have the pleasure of introducing you to another country... So after leaving poo-get (that's how it is pronounced!) we decided to head to Indonesia, starting off in Bali. Rather than directly leaving the sands of Thailand for the notoriously known beaches of Bali, we thought we would break it up a bit and explore inland to see what else the island has to offer. As always the...
