From Sumatra to Java - Jakarta

Quite tired, but too boisterous to rest, I went directly on to Bukauheni, the most important connection harbor to Java.
Nobody was able to tell me what time the ferries to Java are leaving.🤷 I found out soon why: because there's always a ferry.😅 Going during daytime every 30 minutes, in the evening there's still a huge ferry every hour, missed one for a few minutes, but boarding for the next one started 20 minutes later.
Saying goodbye to Sumatra, thanking for the great times the island and it's inhabitants spent with me, grateful for the amazing welcoming and kindness of the people and hoping for coming back, one day.
During the boat trip I met Andi, a businessman from Borneo, travelling to Jakarta for his business, and had some nice talking, so time flew by. Will meet him again in Jakarta, for sure.
Merak harbor was still very busy at midnight, could have gotten a bus to Jakarta easily, but finally lack of sleep and the long boat ride, the amazing but exhausting day, kicked in, so I got a room for the night.
Not much to say about the next day, slept long, caught a cool bus with a smoking area in its back. 😂🙈
Got some first impressions of the huge city of Jakarta and after one month on Sumatra, the city life and the very modern city was a little bit overwhelming. 😅
Just strolled around in my hostel's district and tried to get some rest from my exhausting last days.
I think I could like it, here, but some more exploring is needed. 🤩😉Læs mere
