Java

Java Indonesia: Jakarta.

Jakarta

This is where I flew into. This is where I spent a few days.

Not a lot to recommend it.

Hotel was alright, comfortable. The rest was pretty boring. Even though 1 day was a national holiday, 4 days was more than enough to see it all.

Still, I didn’t come here to look at the cities. Glad to get out.

Here’s a breakdown of some costs:

  • Accommodation: £172 – 4 days
  • Food & meals: £8-12 day. Decent restaurants.
  • Beer: £3-5 a bottle.
  • Travel: £4 for 4 days bus travel
  • Onward travel: £42 flight to Bali.
  • Cinema ticket: £1.32.
  • Airport bus: £3.80.
  • Airport taxi: £16.

All bus travel is cashless, apart from the airport bus, which is 20% the cost of a taxi and takes the same time.

Buses run across the city.

One thought on “Java”

  1. Bali oh my that will be glorious. Beer is expensive in Jakarta. Travel is cheap but with in an archipelago that makes sense. Enjoy Bali
