Stayed at Jakarta Hilton International - Jakarta, Indonesia.
|
Jakarta is ok. To go around, choose only a Silverbird or bluebird taxi as most of their drivers understand english. Traffic was terrible when we went to Puncak Pass from Bogor. We spent almost the whole day in the bus.

Stayed at Ibis Arcadia Hotel - Jakarta, Indonesia.

Many roadside stalls nearby with cheap and good food. Restaurant across the road "Ayam Goreng" Suharti is a must try.

Stayed at Dusit Mangga Dua - Jakarta, Indonesia.
|
I did not have much time to go around, outside of business meetings and meals. When I ask residents about what I can see in Jakarta, most say "not much", which surprised me. The hotels had very good restaurants and I would recommend highly the ox-tail soup in Hotel Borobodur. I was able to visit the Wayang (International Puppet) Museum and watched a brief impromptu puppet show, in English. I found this very interesting and worth the time.

Stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel Majapahit - Surabaya, Indonesia.
|
I had not the oppurtunity to delve into Surabaya City itself as the city was only my entry and exit point for my trek and ascent of Mt. SEMERU.
IF one enjoys trekking, the "Indonesian style" is quite incomparable. My wife and I had two porters, a cook and a guide.
They collectively blessed us with :
superb "mountain and trekking " cuisine cooked over open log fire;
with cheerfulness and devotion to our safety, comfort and enjoyment
that made our trip memorable.
WE are surprised that there is precious little information generally available on the SEmeru Trek and climb.

Stayed at Ibis Rajawali Surabaya Hotel - Surabaya, Indonesia.
|
Surabaya is a noisy city with no major sightseeing points. It's just for an overnight stay if you to to Mt Bromo National Park, Malang etc. Mt Bromo is a really fantasctic experience, one of my best trips to Indonesia. Malang is fine with a nice climate and beautiful surroudings. I organized all myself, i.e. local train, bus etc.
