Finally arrived in Indonesia after a long, long journey. We got a night bus from KK to Tawau (on the Malaysian side of Borneo) (so no sleep) and arrived at 5am. Went to the ferry terminal and got a ticket to Nunukan (on the Indonesian side of Borneo). We were told that the boat left at 7.30am. This then changed to 9.30, 10.30, 11.00 and finally 11.30. It actually left at 12.45pm! Is this a sign of things to come in Indonesia?
Arrived here to find that you couldn’t get a ferry to Tarakan because they are full so stayed the night here in one of the three hotels here! Tried to get a ticket this morning at 7am and were told that it was full (but not if we paid an extra 130r!) Called their bluff and booked a correctly priced ticket on tomorrows boat so we are now stuck in this town (with no restaurants or cafes anywhere) for another night, but don’t really get stressed about these things anymore and just go with the flow.
