1st leg of the returned trip: Senaru-Lembar Lombok

We ended our soul journey at Senaru village at foot of mount Rinjani at 13 August 2013 9pm, we called Bli Chemonk to pick us up, it cost us Rp 400.000. Another night drive with Bli Chemonk, just before midnight we reached Lembar harbor, we paid Rp 40.000 per person to cross to Padangbai Lombok. It was a nice new not too crowded ferry, we all can have good night rest in the sleeping quarter.

2nd leg of the returned trip: Padangbai-Gilimanuk Bali

14 August 2013 our ferry docked at 6am in Bali then we took economy bus to Gilimanuk harbor, it cost us Rp 60.000 per person. We are their first passenger for the day, so the bus stop at Klungkung market and terminal to take more passenger, the bus stopped here for about 30 minutes, enough time for us to seek breakfast. You know what we got traditional balinese pork dishes, excellent. Galang exploration to the market revealed stunning finding, more pork, we decided to buy more for our lunch and snack in the bus. It was 6 hour bus ride cross countrying Bali, the scenery was just awesome but we were too busy with the pork so no scenery pictures were taken.

3rd leg of the returned trip: Ketapang-Yogyakarta Java

At 1pm we cross the strait to Java and arrived in Ketapang harbor, here we cook our last supply which is spaghetti, we cooked in front of toilet, another excellent choice of spot. After meal we went with city bus to Banyuwangi bus terminal, here we take Mila Sejahtera economy bus back to Jogja, it cost us Rp 100.000 per person. The bus condition was better than our previous Mila bus, it was air conditioned, but here thing gone worse, the bus keep taking passenger up until we reached Jember. The bus occupancy was 130%, it supposed to be like 70 seats bus but at that time there were like 80-90 people on board. We arrived at giwangan bus terminal by 15 August 2013, our friend Dita kind enough to pick us up then we have our morning pork breakfast again at Bu Komang.
