Bandung

Our journey to Bandung was yet another long one. Sadly made longer as the road we were going to take to Bandung was closed, so we had to take a detour that possibly added another 2 to 3 hours to the journey. We did however go through a forest of rubber trees where we could see (from the bus) the rubber being collected in the small pots tied to the trees. The roads however seemed to be non existent in places and the axles on the bus took a couple of severe and noisy poundings along the way. We managed to arrive for the noon ferry and back behind us we could make out Krakatoa in the distance. A long journey to our destination was made longer as our route took us through Jakarta during rush hour. After such a long journey we had a couple of drinks in the bar, where David discovered the following day that he'd left his cash and cards, but the staff had kindly and honestly discovered them and handed them in to the local tour leader.
