In reply to Nina.

Yes, closer than Yogya (from jakarta0, by plane about 50 minutes). Lampung is southest Province in Sumatera.

Lampung is large Province, from Bandar Lampung (capital town) to surfing spot (West Lampung) about 270 km (6 hours by car). My sister have cottage there, in front of beach.

Dolphin siland named Teluk Kiluan, 70 km, but need 3-4 hour (because road acess is bad.

At Bandar Lampung Traveler can go to the beach buterfly garden, waterfall (about 30 minutes to an hour by car),and enjoy the food.

Hi Nina,
I’m from Lampung, Indonesia …
If you like beach, surfing, snorkel, mountain, eat, Lampung is a good option. 😀

Indonesia’s a big country. Do you plan to stay just in Jakarta or do you want to go to other places within the country? I’ve only been to Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Bali (which I did for one week). As for the budget, here’s how much I spent in Indonesia to give you an idea: https://justwandering.org/2010/post-trip-accounting/travel-expenses-indonesia/

The Wayang museum puppeteers are so much fun! I love their passion for their craft. I didn’t make it in time for the show but they were kind enough to give me a private viewing which I thoroughly enjoyed. Naparami tuloy ng bili ko hahaha!

I was really impressed by the richness of Indonesian culture. I didn’t realize that a lot of the Asian things I liked were actually Indonesian in origin. Next time, I’ll really try to visit Jogjakarta and Bali… looking forward to your next posts!
