We reached Jakarta at around 10pm along with Jamie who was also on the same flight as us after his tooing and frooing about whether to leave Danau Toba or not (long story!). None of us had planned to spend any time in Jakarta and wanted the first bus or train out of there but the cheapo minibuses to the city stop running at 6.30pm (why?) so we decided to spend the night in the airport to wait for...

Back in 2008 we took 21 months off work, rented out the house, found a foster home for Stuart (cat!) and ventured out to the big wide world. We saw as many places as we could fit in in the time we were on the road and returned home in February 2010 after a truly life changing and eye opening journey. Our adventure lasted... 615 days! After our return we fell into the routine of life back in the UK but have always planned to get back out there as soon as we could.

Train in Indonesia
Hi there, Nice report. Just curious, which train did you guys take? For the class of service, you should always go with Executive Class, anything less is actually only coach / "upgraded" coach class. As for the trains, there are different train names, you should go with ARGO trains, they are the best. (e.g. ARGO LAWU for Jakarta-Jogja). Hopefully this may be of help. Enjoy your stay in Indonesia and have a pleasant and safe trip. Cheers, Roy.

Great account!
Hey guys, very refreshing and funny entry, thank you! I also spent the night at Jakarta airport a few weeks ago, and as you know had very similar experiences in Borobodur and Pramabanan. It is also nice to read that there are people out there that get just as annoyed by the constant hassle and the foreigner-pricing as I do. Keep it up, greetings from Taiwan, Ben

Indonesia Train System has its own website, which is: http://infoka.kereta-api.com/jadwal_dan_tarif/. You can find any information about schedules and fares in it. Hopefully it may help you.
