G’day
It’s 9:50pm Monday night here and I’m sending this while I still have
some Internet.
Trip has been good so far. Though, a bit rushed. We’ve had early
mornings every day, bar one!
Jakarta was good, and although rushed, got to meet up with ricky and jimmy.
Yogya started very badly with an awful night train from Jakarta
(arriving at 5am)! It only got worse as we were stuffed around by the
Ibis hotel. For one, they refused to believe that we’d pre-paid our
rooms & that rate incl breakfast. “Can u prove you paid? Did you check
your visa account statement?”
:-O
Yogya got off to a bad start, and as we only checked in at 12:30pm,
that day was wasted!
Today, we went to borobodur (Buddhist temple) and then to Prambanan Hindu shrines. They were both great. We took ajir’s old flatmate,
Bangkit, with us and his almost girlfriend 
Tomorrow (Tues), we are on the 6 am flight to Makassar, Sulawesi. That means 4am breaky, and in a taxi quick smart to get to airport! Ugh.
We haven’t organised Sulawesi (tana Toraja) trip yet, so who knows
what will happen. I think we’re all sure that a night bus is out of
the question!!
Next weekend I’m off to Sumatra to visit Ajir. This may involve a 6hr
motorbike ride across Sumatra to see his family also!! My bum might
regret that decision.
Ciao. Gotta get to sleep!
Scotty.
