I headed off to the airport today, and rather than use the bus, I opted for using a Grab car. It continued to rain like it had done so far almost every day. The flight was interesting as it was during daylight hours of late afternoon, and so it was possible to see the volcanoes in the east of Java as we flew over them when the clouds weren't covering them.
When I arrived at the airport, it was almost impossible to move without fake taxi drivers trying to get a fare. They were all sorely disappointed when I showed them that I could get a fare to my hostel for 4000 IDR instead of the 40k that they were refusing to go below.
As it happened, I was not able to get a Grab cab inside the complex. One driver did accept once I was outside the airport, but he drove completely the wrong way and tried to ask me to cancel. I had to call customer services, and by the time they had agreed to cancel from the driver's side, I was already at the hostel!
