Plane left on time and was a comfortable flight with heaps of food (too much food) and a few movies. Felt extremely weird flying OVER Bali, waved and thought "will be there after our big adventure". Landing in Jakarta was no problems but we thought the pilot put the breaks on like a Melbourne Bus Driver!
Off the plane and following signs to customs, one guy directed Dusan onto the travelator then we realized that was the wrong way! So at the end he did the "walk of shame" past all the people already in line back to the Visa on Arrival line! He was not the only one.
No issues through customs, bags were there and out we went. I saw a booth that said Taxi and thought that will do. So off we went, not bad were moving along no issues then STOP............cars everywhere, a new lane formed, cars and trucks everywhere.....the driver was singing away, then he burped, then kept on singing. We were driving, driving, driving..........the bus's were packed and they had a little kid hanging out the back who would jump out and direct the bus into the tight spots! We were laughing, and looking everywhere but also thinking where are we!!!
Two hours later we arrived at our home for the first two night, Pullman Hotel. We dropped our bags and walked across the road to The Hard Rock Cafe. We have a dear friend Sari from Bali who works there. She cried when she saw us and hugs were had all round. We had a wonderful nacho and cocktails then the tiredness started to take over so we walked back to the hotel, fell into bed but of course it is 4 am here so are watching tv before we decide what to do today with Sari.
