I an now claim I've traveled from north to south of Java Island. Did that yesterday



That's a mere 160km but it took bloody 4.5hrs to go and almost 6hrs back. In Thailand to travel only 150km takes maximum 2.5hrs in bad condition if not just 2hrs.

Went there for meeting so took a break at the seaside for lunch
