To south coast - perfect bike ride 🥰
21 Oktober 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C
Finally my cold was gone, so let's go back to the ocean, ride some waves and explore Java!
I really should do more proper research, before starting my rides, can't always be that lucky as I was today: Completely accidentally ran into the Cirahong Dubbeldekker Spoorbrug, a double-decker bridge for trains and bikes (in earlier times even cars), built by the Dutch in 1893.
As sometimes here, there's a little toll to pay to the guy who's managing the one-way traffic.
Great place to see, some businesses established around the bridge, a small shop, some Warungs (little restaurants) and a cafe. Perfect break, watching people passing by, stopping by eating, drinking coffee and taking pictures, even one couple seemed to have a wedding-photoshooting there.
The ongoing road was amazing, going through hills, mountains, and tiny villages. Of course some parts of the road were broken and hard to ride, but most of the track was like a biker's dream road, going up and down, more or less sharp curves, few serpentines, going through amazing landscapes and enjoying beautiful views. 🤩Baca selengkapnya

Bandung - white Crater
19–21 Okt 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
As I was still suffering from a sore throat from Jakarta's A/C, I needed some rest for recovery in Bandung.
But finally it was time to visit the other volcano at Bandung.
Went there with two other travelers by scooter, had a nice ride and some fun with some guys and some kids at a random shop on the way, we've chosen for rest place.
Unfortunately we were not able to go up to the crater on our own scooters, but the 4km bus ride was a nice experience, too. 😎
White crater has less activities, so people can walk directly into it, it also is very well developed for tourists and some, mostly local, tourists were around.
As we're still in dry season, here, there was not too much water in the crater, so the sulfate soaked grounds of the crater was very good visible.
Walking up to the view point was a nice little hike, view was amazing and Jasper, Inge and me had a lot of fun. 😊
While having a quick dinner at the base of the volcano two cute girls made a lot of fun with us, enjoying the attention. As both of them were deaf-mute it was amazing to see, how they communicated with each other in sign language and trying it with us, too. Showed again, that there's always a way to communicate, if you're willing and if you try hard.
Riding back to the hostel during darkness was another experience, on these roads and with some crazy driving styles from locals.😅Baca selengkapnya

My first onshore vulcano 🌋 - to Bandung
16–17 Okt 2023, Indonesia
As Tangkuban Parahu was more or less in my route to Bandung, it was a perfect sightseeing stop for my ride.
As the ride out of Jakarta mostly was going through urban areas, I was already looking forward to riding through some rural, mountainous areas. Riding curvy, steep roads is the real fun, about riding any motorbike. 😍
As expected the ride was amazing, streets were quite okay, had an awesome rural bike ride.
Never know, what to say about visiting natural sights, as impressions can't be put into proper words. Witnessing these unbelievable powers, creating these unreal landscapes, where living nature is fighting against Earth's forces, will keep me fascinated for my entire life, obviously.
Probably this place is more crowded at the forenoon, as most tourist tours are starting early in the morning to avoid the hot times at noon. So except for a few local tourists and even more sellers (trying hard😅), guides (even harder 🙈) and service staff (so friendly and helpful), I had the place for my own. On the hike to the smaller Domas crater, I didn't see even one other person.😎
The ride further on to Bandung went quite smoothly, some small and broken roads took speed down a lot, but the beautiful landscapes paid everything off. 😍 And traffic was surprisingly easy, so all in all a perfect day for my first real Bike Tour on my own on Java. 😊Baca selengkapnya

Birthday party and a gift to myself 🎊
14–16 Okt 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Decided to celebrate my birthday the evening before, as I knew I would like to have a relaxing day after the celebration and wanted to head on to the east. 😅
So some of my travel mates and I went for some nice streetfood and to a crazy bar in Jakarta.
Got the first time a birthday song from the stage (no, I wasn't embarrassed at all 🙈), and had a great night, listening to a great Indonesian 80s/90s-coverband and some nice drinks. Not much more to say... 😬😎🥳
So after a relaxed birthday morning, I went to a barbershop, getg my growing beard trimmed and hairs under control.
Looking for a tailor, repairing my hat and my trousers brought me again to some beautiful places in Jakarta, but finally I left Jakarta after 8 nights.
Made myself a nice birthday gift and found a very luxurious, still affordable, hotel on my way to Bandung, to have another relaxing night and a great start in the day, due to an awesome breakfast buffet. 🤤
Very nice Indonesian birthday 🥳😎Baca selengkapnya

Buying a bike in Jakarta 🛵💨
11 Oktober 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
After I wasn't able to take the new highspeed train (it's name really is "Whoosh"! 😅), I spontaneously decided to go further east by motorbike. At least Java has good, well kept roads, I've seen, and the freedom of going around by bike is awesome. 🤩
Many travellers say it's common and easy to do it in Vietnam, buy a bike in the north, sell it in the south. So why shouldn't it be possible in Indonesia? 🤔
After going to some bike shops, I realized it's not that easy and I have to be careful, as prices seemed to be quite high.
Luckily I told Andi (the businessman from Kalimantan I've met in the ferry to Java) what I'm planning. His answer was: "Hey, Im your man, my hobby is buying and selling used cars!" 😅
Took him 5 minutes to figure out that there's a bike auction tomorrow, we'll find a bike for a good price, there. 😎
Unbelievable amount of bikes (>730 motorbikes if all types) to see. Took me 3hrs to spot out 8 potential candidates, including my maximum prices, so there will be a small profit (or at least no loss), when selling it on Bali (or somewhere else).
As soon as I met one of the bike dealers, I've visited the day before, at the auction, I was sure that this is the right place to buy a bike. 😬
Bidding was funny, first two bikes went away faster as I was able to react. 😅🙈
Third of my candidates went to a way too high price after 30seconds, but a nice, quite new, Yamaha Gear scooter was my chance. Slow bidding, not many people interested, so after only a few biddings, it was mine! 🥳😎
Paperwork took some time, Andi and I had to walk to a bank office nearby. I took 12 million cash from the ATM (took me 10 withdrawals, 50.000 notes, unfortunately forgot to take a pic of that huge pile of money 🙈), he did the money transfer to the auction's office, and I got my bike and the key. 😬
Felt a little bit like the moment I bought my first vehicle in Austria, without understanding anything of the language... 😅🤣
Going to a helmet shop with Andi first and then saying goodbye to him, thanking him for the huge efforts he took to help me!
Next stop at a Yamaha garage, getting some fresh oil for my bike's engine and, of course, getting to a tuning shop, getting a smartphone-mount for it, so everything was set up properly. 😬
My first own ride on a bike on Jakarta's confusing streets with it's crazy traffic was a little bit scary, but got used to it soon. 😎🛵💨
Our traffic would improve massively, if we would stick to these traffic habits in Austria! 🤗
Looking forward to exploring Indonesia by bike, from now on! 🤩Baca selengkapnya

Exploring Jakarta 😍
9–14 Okt 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Jakarta is definitely worth seeing, I'm a little bit sad I didn't find more time to explore the tiny little alleys, rarely big enough for a scooter. You can find everything there, all sorts of shops, warungs (the typical tiny little restaurants with only one, two or three tables), food stalls, a lot of life is going on there.
Of course, I did some sightseeing, the boat ride at the old harbor was one of the highlights, the 8th biggest mosque of the world, fitting 200.000 people in it, was also very impressive. The "tiny little" catholic cathedral on the opposite of the street gave a very symbolic view.
It's awesome to see, how much effort Indonesian people put into growing plants, extending their gardens onto the streets, trying to put something green into their city environment.
I can not put in pictures the amazing kindness and the friendly approach of Indonesian people in general. Obviously in a big city like Jakarta, more people are only looking curious and hesitate to approach me directly, but even here it happened to me, that I got a free lift by a traffic policeman, after he saw me looking on the map, very confused, for a while, looking for a certain shop. And as soon as I take initiative to talk to people, looking curious but hesitating, they warm up immediately and I had some heartwarming experiences and, met only people trying to help to find my way or just chitchatting nicely.
That's very special for a metropolitan city, in my experience, and one of the most important reasons, why I think Jakarta is worth a visit with an open mind and an open heart. 🥰Baca selengkapnya

7–9 Okt 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Still not sure what to write about Jakarta, but in my opinion, it's bad image is outdated, probably comes from some years ago.
I like it, still it has all the downsides of a big city in southeast Asia, especially heavy traffic and polluted air, but it has some things to offer!
More to come soon, here some first impressions... 😅Baca selengkapnya

From Sumatra to Java - Jakarta
5–6 Okt 2023, Indonesia ⋅ 🌙 27 °C
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. 🤩😉Baca selengkapnya

Goodbye Krakatoa, visiting neighborhood
5 Oktober 2023, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
I could have gone another round around the volcano, not able to stop watching at it's fascinating shaped coastline and permanent activities, but sun was burning and after 4 hours on the boat we all got hungry.
For our early lunch, we picked little Krakatoa, the island next to the active crater, landing on its black beach.
Amazing view onto the volcano, great food, some coffee and wandering around, here, after lunch. Only building is the volcano observation office, but the officer seems to be fishing, right now.
After saying goodbye to Krakatoa, we went back, but two more stops on the only populated islands here, Sebesi and Sebuku, were on our list.
Sebesi had a nice village, of course everyone knows everybody, so a lot of greeting local people, having some refreshing iced tea, after the long ride in the burning sun, was great. 🥵😎
So we visited a huge "haunted tree", legend telling that everyone who tried to cut off a limb or cut the tree, was haunted by ghosts for the rest of his life.
But as we wanted to visit Suridaya's home island, Pulau Sebuku, we left quite soon.
Sebuku, or at least the part we landed, was like a paradise beach at a protected bay, so water was calm and warm.
Amazing to see, how Suridaya's son went up the palm tree to cut some coconuts for a snack, while his wife gave us some coffee and some fresh bananas, their 3yrs old daughter being extremely shy, seeing a "bule" for real first time.
I was shown the traditional palm tree production, which is their main income source, cooking sugar out of sugar-palm leafs nearly 24/7.
After some relaxing, and showing me their huge grounds along the beach, where they wanted to build a guesthouse for accommodating tourist, we finally left back to Sumatra.
Sun still burning, all of us hiding under clothes, sweating a lot, but happy to have a packed day, a great time together, enjoying nature's beauty and gifts, and sharing amazing experiences and impressions.
Never will forget that awesome day. 🥰Baca selengkapnya

Krakatoa - an active volcano 🌋
4–5 Okt 2023, Indonesia ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
When I was 5 or 6 years old, I got the "Volcanoes" book from the famous german "Was ist was" childbook series. Since that day I was dreaming of seeing this unbelievable powers of our amazing planet for real.
Finally this day that dream came true.
Arriving at the village Canti, brought to more or less the only hotel, I walked straight to the pier, discovering the harbor was not in use anymore, only two fishing boats on the beach. No ferry, as some (already known as unreliable) information online were saying. As usual here, the best way is to talk to locals, but the woman running the hotel was not speaking any english and a little bit shy, so I walked to the pier and asked around there. Buying some drinking water in the tiny shop, brought me to Suridaya, a local man who told me he could bring me there and be my guide. He barely spoke English, so our conversation mostly went on with hands, feet and google translate 😅
For fixing the tour, he wanted to visit me at my hotel later, finally he found me an hour later at the only restaurant, there, accompanied by Ham, a fisherman owning one of the only two boats here.
After some bargaining about the price, we agreed to start the tour at 5am.
Dino, one of Suridaya's sons, joined the tour, he spoke a little bit of English, so some basic conversations possible, but translator was still in heavy use.
Cloudy morning, but sun brushed sky clear very soon and burned down on our tiny boat.
Calm sea, only usual currents were sometimes pushing on the boat, perfect day for an amazing trip.
Passing by Sebuku and Sebesi islands (we visited on our way back, another footprint coming for that), some beautiful, natural islands with few people living on.
A quite long ride, but after around 1,5 hrs Krakatoa came at sight. 😲
Still half an hour to reach, but approaching that permanently smoking volcano and seeing it growing on the horizon was already awesome.
Cannot describe my feelings, while going around the active crater, lying in the middle of the old crater islands. Permanently volcano's rumbling to hear, some really intense Salpeter smelling in the air, at some points, and seeing these rocks of cold Lava, volcanic stones, and huge amounts of ashes, being washed away by rain and sea, witnesses of some brutal natural forces earlier, made me speechless and feeling humbled.
We are only guests on this planet.Baca selengkapnya
