Walking distance of your house, eh? Similarities to Lee Harvey Oswald?
Just make sure he’s not “a quiet man who kept to himself”.
/Haven’t been to Lamongan. Nice crustacean architecture, though.
I can think of a very good tempat parawisata close to Surabaya, and that silly old twit doesn’t let on he has spent many happy hours there?
As for hostility, so long as you pay the bill?
Never.
Well I’ve been to Lamongan, I mean the town, like most people I think I didn’t really mean to go there, just kept riding and found myself there, but, not much to report there….I’ve driven past the Maharani cave many times but never thought to stop, partly because I was in a hurry to get somewhere else and partly because places that attract many busloads of people from villages kind of put me off – when I was young, ignorant single fellow I didn’t mind busloads of village folk everywhere but with a family now I find the dumb stares and whispers you get pretty off-putting….
The fun park and Tanjung Priok, well we keep meaning to go there, we went to a similar place in Batu recently, huge fun park there as well but I forget the name, great for the kids and for their sake I’ll put up with all the staring yokels….and it is pretty funny to see fully clothed middle aged jilbabed women in the swimming pool.
Jatim Park in batu. And the Pukolator ride is just the best.
Next to Jatim park is Uncle Sastro’s Batu Night Extravangza, and a pretty good bar in the Klub Bungga hotel.
I am wondering if I was one of the staring yokels……
Jatim Park, that’s the one, how could I forget, jolly good time to be had there…there’s an idea for a post, fun parks of Indonesia, Batu though is a nice place and very friendly people.
Seksi Mr. Patoengs,
All.
How ’bout starting a thread for off-beat little travel adventures, perhaps focused on easy escapes from big cities ? Thread would aim at weird, cool, quirky little trips.
Maybe people could post and rate things like:
- Peaceful train trip from Jakarta to Bandung, Cirebon, Bogor.
- Mountain bike thru the West Java tea plantations: transport and logistics
- Hiking on Mt. Halimun/Pangrano.
- Vespa ride to the East Java ruins ?
- Jakarta to old Banten forts and ruins ?
- Ancol harbor to Pulau En Rust ?
I think it’d be very… Seksi.
We will arrive at Lamongan 25 November 2010. We hoped to see it as a quite and beatiful place, and to meet people who are very nice and friendly. Insya-Allah.
