Sometimes local people want to impress the foreigner and they are giving information which is not updated or just false… This was a challenge today: to reach the destination I travelled by two microbuses then by ojek, then by taxi, then low-cost airline and two city buses and finally by car- the local version of Uber. Due to false information (I was looking the bus station in Cilegon which does not exists) the traffic jams and lack of reliable timetables I almost lost the connections. But all is done! It is evening and I am in the little port of Jepara. My homestay is near the little dock, where ferry is landing. There is also a monster turtle in the nearby park, housing aquarium – see picture.
Tomorrow in the morning little ferryboat is leaving from the port to the island of Karimunjawa, I hope to be on board! No ferries on Thursdays – that’s why it was so important to reach Jepara today…
