Bandung – Jakarta
Monday, 23 June 2008Jakarta, Indonesia
I had only planned to stay one night in Bandung, so yesterday at around 16.00 I went to the railway station to get to Jakarta. All trains were full until 19.00, however, but I was approached by a man asking if I instead wanted to travel by private car to Jakarta (sharing with several other passengers). I accepted, and paid him the requested Rp 60,000 (USD 6.50). We departed around 16.30, and arrived in Jakarta about 2 hours later. I went to jl. Jaksa to seek out my usual resting place, but unfortunately it was full. So instead I checked in at the place next door, which has no airconditioning however. I paid Rp 70,000 for the room.
