Bye bye Bali

My alarm goes off at 6am and I've only taken my wash bag out of my rucksack so after a quick shower I go downstairs to get a grab. I have trouble in trying to get my location and Kedah thankfully offers to call me a bluebird(taxi) he makes me a coffee but I've barely taken a sip and my taxi has arrived, I'm always glad of this as there's nothing worse for me than being stressed at the airport. I enjoy a cigarette before checking in and I'm pleasantly surprised when I find there's a smoking area inside but when I arrive at security they confiscate both my lighters. The smoking area is outside and I manage to blag a light off someone out there but goodness knows how they managed to get them in. It's really nice out here as I watch the planes taking off. It's time to board and we actually arrive in Jakarta 20 minutes early and the clocks have gone back 1 hour. It's only a short layover and after a coffee and cigarette I check the board which says gate 1a for my departure to Medan. I sit at the gate but it doesn't seem very busy and when I check my boarding pass it says 3a. There are 2 girls in front that look European and when I ask they aren't sure either. I go to the desk and on my boarding pass cross it out and put 6a. When I arrive to gate 6a there are quite a few people but we eventually board at gate 7a really not ideal but at least I e made my flight. When I arrive I get a message fro Yumi and Chris the people I'm going to be doing the tour with to say they missed the flight and won't arrive until 5pm. Gary from on the rocks messages me an I agreed to wait for them as it's a 4 HR journey so I buy the driver food and we sit and eat dinner and smoke about 20 cigarettes while we wait. It's very apparent I'm back to hecticness on the drive to On the Rocks but I embrace it and enjoy chatting to Yumi and Chris. We then start making our way into more of the jungle area but still passing through little villages on route. After an arduous journey on very bumpy roads we arrive and get dropped off on the side of the road and told we will need to walk the rest of the way. Debbie has messaged me to say enjoy the steps. It's like climbing Machu Pichu just when you think you are there you turn another corner and there's more. No wonder it's called On the Rocks.Читать далее
