Travelling from Surabaya, Java to Bali



Odd collection of photos taken with mobile phone from recent Bali / Java Trip - the first is taken inside a tobacco factory, which is situated right in the slums of Surabaya (cheap labour) and shows the factory floor with several hundred people are making cigarettes.  Next few photos taken from the train travelling from Surabaya to the crossing point between Java and Bali, then a cuople of pics from Bali beside the beach and a hindu temple next door  - PS taking photos with the mobile phone seems more secretive than a conventional camera; more so when you are not allowed to take photos, hehehe

Surabaya Zoo





Special place to see animals from Indonesia, although seeing them locked up makes you question whether this is good = Komodo dragon, orangutang, sumatran tiger (beautiful)

Flying into Surabaya Java





Flying into Surabaya, Java - lots of volcanoes, and what also looked like giant paddy fields but is a failed attempt to mine a mud volcano which has gone horribly wrong and the mud volcano is consuming the countryside - already a village has gone. A very hot and sticky country. Millions of people, most desperately poor...

Bali





Putu Bali, Krokoban, Bali
Very nice accommodation in Bali, away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta and Legian - almost rural. Lots of development attracting investors and westen tourists.
