So I'm Indonesia now and wow it's crazy I would put it with India there is alot more poverty than in the rest of Asia that I have seen so far!
I met with Sarah yesterday and went to hers just had a night in chilled out which was nice I decided to do a trip to a place called pandagran which is 8 hours away stupidly I got the bus late in the day so it was night before I got close! luckily I met a man called sammi who speaks English and he found me a place to stay in a nearby town. He is going to take me to meet his family tomorrow and then were going to head down to pandagran together. Fingers crossed it's a bit more tourist pron.
2nd
So I'm here and I've met a few people which is good. The first day I headed to the beach it was weird it was pretty deserted but I walked pass a small sort of beach bar and some old men told me to have a drink. They were mostly pervy not to me but to the indonesian women grose!! But they suggested some nice places to eat and nice trips so that was ok. I went back to were I was staying mini tiga a small homestead friendly staff and a reasonable room with my own bathroom!! Luxury!!
I didnt do much until later when I met two girls from Sweden and a guy from Russian all very nice! We went for tea and had sata's nice but not eaten much since my malaria tablets!!
Today I went to the green canyon which was cool! I got a lift on a motorbike with my own driver lol pretty funny he was young and was good at telling me where we were and I was lucky as he was a safe driver!! So first we went to the green valley it was gorgeous sort of greeney blue water but crystal clear great to swim in because it was super fresh!! We swam through a cave is was cool, water dripping from the celling echoing as we swam!!
We also went to traditional puppet maker which was brill the man was so animated and even gave us a little show granted it was in Indonesian but you got the gist!! He was really funny!
We also saw how they make coconut sugar which tastes lovely we had some samples.
We then went to the green canyon which was weird it was beautiful but because it was so busy it kinda ruined it! I preferred the green valley! Both were good though. I also met a women who lived in Sydney who offered me accommodation when I go whenever that is!! Lol bless her!
So we stopped at a beach to have lunch it was nice I had a special fried rice yum and then lay on the beach fully clothed as with everywhere in indonesia but I met a lovely family that were from Conwy what are the chances it's only half an hour away!!
Anyway had a long ride back on the motorbike!! It was good I saw the national park but literally just went past!
Overall a great day xx
