21 Hours Overnight Ferry In Indonesia 🇮🇩

Күн бұрынJourney from Batam Island to Jakarta, Indonesia across Sumatra
My arrival in Indonesia ➡️ • My 1st Time In Indones...
A few weeks ago I started my journey in Bangkok and the goal was it to reach Jakarta, Indonesia without taking a single flight. Now I have made it to Batam Island already, which is just in front of Singapore. The journey from here on gets interesting! There are daily flights from Batam to Jakarta and they are actually also very inexpensive, but I want to complete this journey without a flight. So, join me on the journey across Sumatra island towards Jakarta. A journey that turned out to be quite long and quite memorable! Let's make it to Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia!

Ken i don't know where you are at this moment but if you need help in Jakarta my wife is living there. I am Dutch. And please be careful in Jakarta. on crowded places wear your backpack on your chest. also use wallet with rfid blocking and keep your mobile on a safe place if you use public transportation.

FYI Palembang is one of the oldest cities in Indonesia, In the past there was a very famous kingdom, namely the Sriwijaya kingdom, whose power reached Malaysia and Singapore Prince Sriwijaya, named Sang Nila Utama, was the first person to discover Singapore and create the kingdom of Singapore. There is a statue of Sang Nila Utama with Sir Stamford Raffles in the next Singapore river
