In Cirebon
Hi Everyone, In Cirebon about 250km from Jakarta. The traffic in the run up to Ramadan which is in a few days time is just crazy!
I expect to reach Jakarta, the Indonesian capital on Monday 12th with the help of a marathon a day… No easy job here! I tried to upload a traffic video but it’s taking too long, so don’t think I can at this time. In Jakarta I will pick up my next pair of shoes waiting for me at the Irish Consul. I will be there on Monday morning. From there its about 130km to the ferry port for Sumatra, and silence! I just know anything will be peaceful after here. I did get a very mild case of athletes foot, but have treated it with cream and seems to be ok, that was what the blister stuff was in the blog, as it was so mild it didn’t seem so obvious! All well now, and 40km so far today before this time consuming stop.
Sorry, Gotta rush!
