After kawa Ijen we had breakfast at the hostel settled the bill and paid 1200rupiah to get another jeep ride to the ferry port. At the ferry port we just paid the 8000rupiah to get on instead of getting a direct bus that just drives into the ferry.
As soon as we got off the we were quickly greeted by a 'bus-man' who ushered us onto a fast bus for 70,000Rupiah (we definitely got ripped off here) Claiming that it is 3 hours instead of 5, the awful catch is there is no A/C and it is a smoking bus with the locals. No high quality bus for us. Since we were offered an A/C bus before boarding the ferry for the same price. >.<
For us to get to Ubud I have to get off at Mungwi station in Denpasar.
The bus was hot, it almost broke down, we got stuck in traffic and most of all I was becoming far to restless. I've been in a plethora of transportation vehicles that have well broken the 48 hours of transit mark. Soon to be a world record.
Next was a refuel stop,toilet, noodles and a cold beverage. Upon our arrival we were swarmed by taxi drivers. After a late lunch we picked a nice man with a mini bus, he offered 300,000rupiah and we got him down to 200,000rupiah. The ride out to Ubud in an air conditioned listening to dubstep and classic happy hardcore.
Now to find a hostel.
