There are lots of short-hop destinations from Jakarta, and the Sumatran city of Bandar Lampung is just one of them. Located on the southern tip of Sumatra, Bandar Lampung is well off the tourist trail. Which makes it all the more special.
We stay in the Sheraton (for GBP 30) and walk around the city, seeing a wonderful stilt village, saying hello to countless friendly people along the way. We finish the evening in the Marco Polo Hotel, which, as well as cheap food and beer, offers some great views of the city. The next morning I catch a taxi and see the Krakatoa Monument, the central Mosque and a Chinese Temple. I finish my tour with a trip to a little beach popular with the locals.
