After a few days in Tasik, we went on a road trip to East Java. WRONG IDEA!!! NEVER, unless you have a strong heart and ass, drive for a very long time in Indonesia. You’d want to kill somebody by the end of the day! First of all my dad’s car is so uncomfortable. It’s an SUV with horrible back seats!!! The way people drive there is TERRIBLE and very hard to explain; you just have to experience it. It’s like playing a video game, drive fast, dodge, and you win if you make it alive to your destination. The roads are super small too. A two lane road but it can become a three lane. Our driving distance was short, maybe 250 miles, so about a four hour drive here. But with the road situation it was a 10 hour drive for us. By the time we got to Solo, Drew wanted to go back to Tasik, by train, and just stay there until we had to leave. I was quite upset too. The reason for the long drive was because my parents felt bad because Emma wanted to see the beach and we had no plans on going to any. So, they decided to go to the (this butt ugly) beach so that Emma can see the beach. When we got there it was so disappointing, a waste of time to be honest.

The showers were small but clean and the most important was that we got a whole day (and more) of traveling out of our outer bodies. We are now ready to see the parents and who knows what else was in-store (or so we thought).
