Fast and furious across Java from Surabaya to Bandung on recently built freeways

Continued from fast and furious across Bali and eastern JavaTo Surabaya

On our fourth day, we woke up in Surabaya, Java's second Largest City.

We set Google maps GPS for the next major city on Java's North Coast, Semarang.

We traveled approximately 385 km in just a little over four hours, including a couple stopovers for toilets, Petro and meals.

It was our boys, who were born in Bali, first time on a high-speed  Indonesian freeway.

 I might add that I didn’t see any police on the whole trip pulling anybody over for speeding.

These days Google maps will warn you if there is a speed camera but I tend to believe that even if there was a speed camera maybe nobody was watching it.

Our next stop was Semarang, another coastal city.

The night before with booking.com I was able to secure a three-bedroom miniature villa close to the freeway again for a low cost of around $70.

 Later that evening we decided to go by Gojek, for as little as $3.50 USD to the old city of Semarang which was originally a major port for  the Dutch East In these company who controlled Indonesia for several hundred years.

 Fortunately there was still some great old buildings with fabulous architecture, standing.

Semarang is the capital and largest city of Central Java province in Indonesia. It has an area of 373.78 square kilometres (144.32 sq mi) and a population of approximately 1.8 million people, making it Indonesia's seventh most populous city^[2]after Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Bekasi, Medan, and Tangerang. 

The built-up (metro) area had 3,183,516 inhabitants at the 2010 census spread on 2 cities and 26 districts.^[3]Greater Semarang (a.k.a. Kedungsapur) has a population of close to 6 million (see Greater Semarang section), and is located at 6°58′S 110°25′E. A major port during the Dutch colonial era, and still an important regional center and port today, the city has a dominant Javanesepopulation.

Finally the next day we arrived at Bandung which was our major destination for this vacation. In a little under five hours, we drove 434 KM.

Approximately four years ago I read about a new archaeological find on Java which may predate the great pyramids by as much as 17,000 years.

At the time I flew over and met with the person who discovered it a geologist with a PHD from America, Danny Hillman.

After spending two hours with him I was convinced that recent exploratory digs that they had done plus significant scientific research with sophisticated instruments leaves a very strong possibility that this previously thought of hill is not a hill but a major man-made pyramid.

Danny and many other prominent experts believe several layers were created over as much as 20,000 years as far back as the ice Ice Age.
