RE: Comment on Bengkulu Trip Hey Pamela GREAT PICS! I am leaving next week looking forward to it! I wanted to know what is the condition of the coastal roads to Bengkulu were like? I had a look on google earth and they seem to be alright. I have four weeks of traveling and plan to head further than bengkulu via the coast hopefully to bandar lampung and if there is time some of the coast of Java also. I am interested in hearing some more information about the pig hunting and some useful info would be great about some suggestions of what to do and what i should see along the coast. sorry about the delay reply just my university studies this semester are consuming most of my time
Padang to Bengkulu Hi Gila,
If you head down to Bengkulu stop off in Painan and visit Edi Muli the guy who has a small homestay by the beach at Batembak Beach 2 kms outside Painan going to Bengkulu.
Such beautiful scenery down to Bengkulu esp if you stay on the coastal road.
See my photos at http://travel.webshots.com/album/349086449oYfNie of Painan and the views on the way from Padang.
I really envy you- guess you are already on your way.
Pamela.
PS I have been pig hunting in Kambang.
I am a young Australian who is currently studying in Melbourne. I have recently acquired the taste of traveling overseas by starting my experience whilst studying in Indonesia ... full info
