3rd September 2009 - Last day in Java before heading off to Kalimantan. Had a hissing fit this morning during check out as I was getting stressed that we would miss our flight. In reality we are just starting to understand how indonesia ticks, i.e very slowly. Arrived at airport a convincing swedishly 2 hours before our flight. Our ticket did not match the scheduled flights on the board and no check-in desks were open, typical. Managed to check in and we took off only one hour later than original departure time.
Arrived in Pangkalan Bun just after lunch and grabbed a taxi into town. We had a reservation at Hotel Bone (prenounced Bone'). I cannot explain what a dump this place is, shared mandi and wc facilities with blood and brown coloured stuff on the walls. Our room did have a window, well mosquito screen. Since it is ramadan, there is absolutely nowhere to eat in this town so we managed to somehow order egg noodles from a local shop. Food was as good as it gets....
