Ferry to Jakarta - Bogor

So, for the ferry we got economyclass tickets, as we thought that would be fine. Turns out then you have to sleep on the floor, in the stairs or whereever you can find room.. And they don't serve food to economyclass.. And in the restaurant you can only buy cookies and coffee.. Luckily we met Erkan from Turkey, and he helped us (bribing) our way up to second class, so we got a room and food 3 times a day! Perfect! K should tell this story, he went with Erkan and was told not to speak, and shook hands with two different officers on the boat and gave money under the table literally! And then we got the key and food and everything was fine! Except we didn't have anymore cash, so we couldn't by drinking water, the food wasn't at all good, but at least we had food, so the 27 hour long trip on the boat was not the best 27 hours of ours lives.. I guess economyclass would have been worse.. But we made it, slept and read a lot and felt groggy, but finally we arrived in Jakarta late at night! And Erkan helped us again, he invited us to stay in his house, and his wife picked us up in their car (after a motorbikeride I don't want to write about, with heavy backpacks and crazy drivers in Jakartas trafficjam late at night) and we all went to an Indonesian restaurant and had lovely fish, and I got chili in the wrong pipe and started crying in front of our new friends, and then we went to their house, in Bogor, it was quite a big house, he is a businessman, and she, Devy, lovely woman, is a teacher at the university, and we stayed one night in the guestroom, thank you so much for everything, Erkan and Devy!!
Next day Erkan drove us back to Jakarta, one hour from Bogor, and we spend 3 hours in the trainstation to get tickets for the nighttrain, and finally we got it, and then we only had time to see the National Monument, which is really next door to the Gambir trainstation, and then we left Jakarta.. Heard it is nothing much to see there anyways:)
And the trainride is another story, again..
