Here we are in a warm and humid place. During our last days in India we were very much looking forward to Indonesia and overall to relax on great beaches! We arrived in Jakarta and were well surprised about this city. Quite clean and really friendly people. That was a big change for me. Moreover the food is fantastic. Aaah it’s fine to eat proper meat again and juicy fruits hmmm! Yet the traffic is crazy here, you end up in a traffic jam all the time and it is very polluted. Indo is famous for singing karaoke and we did it. Patrick even sang more than one song!! You cannot be shy because you have your own private cabin!! I loved it :)
After 2 days in Jakarta we decidedto go to nice islands for great beaches and we heard about Karimunjava. From Jakarta we 1 st had a 6 hrs train and then 2 hrs busride. Arriving in Jepara we wanted to take the ferry but it was already fully booked. Yes, we forgot that Indonesians also have school holidays. So we booked tickets for the day after. Well, and the day after the boats were unable crossing due to 5 m swell/waves. Oh nooooooo!! that was a bit disappointing. As no one knew if the weather will improve we decided to take another 8hrs bus drive to Yogyakarta where we got bed bugs again!!
Enough is enough we decided to go to Bali by bus. We made a stop at the Bromo and Ijien craters. We woke up once at 3am and the night after at 1am to see the blue light and the sunrise. Just amazing and worth waking up so early!!! Yeaaaah, now we are in Bali and it is really a different ambiance! A lot of tourits but its just great to relax at the beach and do nothing else…..

Hi guys… see u are having a nice time, finally relaxing on the sea….just to tell u, u didnt really miss much not going to Karimunjawa. The island is like it has been sleeping for 10 years, past glory has totally expired…our first thought was, we are leaving the next morrning…and indeed we sat on the ferry, but then Uros said, we should tried to find at least one nice thing here, (mainly cos we could bare no more transportations…)…so we got off, after some hard exploring found the perfect beach and just lying under the palm tree and do NOTHING for 4 days…so we perfectly understand you and wish u will do nothing for quite some time :)
Sending to both of you summer greetings from Slovenia (came back home last night, and today we re back in the office :( )
Take care and “read ya”
Lea, Uros
