Project is slowly winding down here and I needed to go say goodbye to my team in a city called Surabaya. Its Indonesia second largest city and their industrial base. We have a warehouse there as well as in Semarang and I travelled between both regularly (at least till Covid slowed things down). Have not ridden there and although I have done a few trips to surrounding areas I didn't get to do it on a bike. Till now. Decided to ride there so I could say goodbye and then make a trip of the ride back to see more of East Java. This is some of the ride that I want to share with you. My ride as always is my modified Yamaha 155 Aerox. Dont need more power or speed in Asia. Topbox, tank bag and clothes under seat in cubby hole and good to go. Fitted extra LED for any night ride or mist which would come in handy this trip as I would find later.

Plan

9 March 2021: ride direct from Semarang (Central Java) to Surabaya (East Java) on the coastal road. Not much to report on that other than some rough roads because of damage from recent floods, hectic traffic entering the city and some parts of the road running next to the sea. For those that don't know, no motorcycles are allowed on the toll roads so no choice but to take the alternative routes. Planned route below as well as actual route from Rever.

10 March 2021: Office

11 March 2021: Public holiday so ride to Batu

12 March 2021: Office and farewell

13 - 14 March 2021: Long way back to Semarang

Im busy reducing the images and will upload shortly for the rest of the trip
