The long way to Bandung

Took a long drive with Rina Sr. and Susy on Tuesday.  After a 7:30 am breakfast we took the long way to Bandung.  It was a great way to see the countryside.  For sure in Indonesia the action and the traffic never stop.

Tea with bay leaf, ginger, cinnamon, and rock sugar

Breakfast egg

Breakfast rice....and chicken and egg....very delicious

In Indonesia there is always someone ready to direct traffic when you need it.  Whistles are ready to go...same with your money.  There is a traffic money bucket next to the seat stuffed with bills.

At the hot springs it was a wet t-shirt contest for the local girls

Hot and steamy !!

Challenging lunch.....and ate it all

Young rubber tree farm

Tapping the rubber tree

The sulphur crater.....we saw everything today.....

And of course there was dinner again.  A very long day, seeing many things I just would of not seen except for the help of the local ambassadors.

On the drive home I discovered there is no speed limit on the dark smoky Indonesian highway.  And not too many cars passed us.....

The next day was a stay-in-the-hostel-day and recuperate.  Still have some jet lag to battle with.  Everyone in the hostel does their best to keep it quiet and you get a great nights sleep.
