For this blog we have to go a bit fast forward, but I’ll break it down for you. So after Bandung, I took the train to Jakarta, the final stop in Java (and Indonesia). Although Jakarta isn’t the most exciting city I was excited because I knew that the next day I would meet Katrin again! Remember her? The girl that changed my plans 🙂 We decided to meet again because being together felt good and we wanted to spend more time together.
Since I already booked a flight from Jakarta to Bangkok it was time to move towards the main capital of Java. The island is quite stretched so the travel time can take up to 8-10 hours. For traveling long distances, the train is the way to go! The railway system is very good and the price is definitely okay for such long trips. It’s also a great opportunity to write blogs and edit photos and videos.
Every place I go has so much to offer. From great food to amazing temples and the nicest people. Most of the time it feels obvious to see the things where a place is famous for, like Borobudur in Yogyakarta. I wouldn’t necessarily say this gets boring but in order to really get to know a place, it is fun to do the exact opposite and get off the beaten track. Yogyakarta is a city that has so much more to offer than the main attractions Borobudur and Prambanan. During one of many Grab taxi rides, I got to know a great guy named Putut.
