Huge, delicious Indonesian rijstafel for lunch. Souvenir bag of special Indonesian coffee. It was all good. Do some research beforehand so that you can make informed decisions about what you do and do not wish to see. We asked to skip the batik store, since we had already purchased batik in two previous ports, and to visit the old harbor instead. It was, to us, the highlight of our tour. Don' forget to tip the driver in…”
