The Yogyakarta part of the itinerary is actually pretty simple. Depending on where you are coming from, probably the easiest way to get to Yogyakarta is to fly. You can catch an international flight directly to Yogyakarta Airport from neighbouring Singapore and Malaysia. Yogyakarta Airport also has connections to Bali, Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, and most other popular spots in the country. If you are going to fly and you’re on a budget I recommend AirAsia as it’s the most reliable budget airline. Yogyakarta streets. Photo credit: Urvesh Devani. Wake up around 2AM and go out there around 2h30AM. (You can confirm times with the staff at your hostel/guesthouse). It’s an amazing route that combines the cultural highlights of central Java with the striking beauty of the landscapes of East Java. This journey through Java takes a minimum of seven days. Three days are spent in Yogyakarta and four days are spent in East Java. From the base of Ijen it’s a 60-90 minute hike to the top of the crater. When you reach the top you then need to follow the small path into the crater. In the dark it’s easy to get lost on the path, so make sure you follow someone closely (if you join a shared tour you should get a guide). Oh, and bring a piece of cloth to cover your face, because if the wind is blowing in your direction sulphur smoke will cover the path.

Wake up around 00h45AM and go out there around 1h00AM. (You can confirm times with the staff at your hostel/guesthouse depending on your location). Happily by the time my daughter got there she was an adult. However, she has paid eye watering sums for accurate princess costumes and would wear them to conventions. She was briefly on the One Show once with her partner as Kristoff and Anna at one Con. We made our first stop at 1AM and the only other person who could speak English told me we would arrive later; around 2 or 3 PM. Fair enough, there was nothing we could do about it. These collars are almost impossible to remake due to the insane amount of machining involved, and original ones - if you can find them - go for ludicrous amounts. Also, it features a shoe compartment at the bottom for storing shoes, sleeping bags, soiled clothes, and other handy items for your long trips.The bag was a comic book store exclusive I believe. I don't normally collect Loungefly bags, I have a Grogu one I use on Park because it's easier to carry around, but when I saw this one it really grabbed me. Thrilled to have found it. Damri Buses: From Jakarta airport, these buses will bring you out of the city or in the city centre. Costs will vary considering the destination. To reach your hostel in Jakarta, it will cost around IDR 40,000. These buses are also reaching many other cities.

Angkot: In Jakarta and in Bandung, you’ll find some colorful minibusses. This is the cheapest way to travel around these cities. Costs can vary between IDR 3,000 and 10,000. I’d recommend you ask the staff from your hostel what’s the average cost for short distances to make sure drivers are not taking advantage of you. My favourite star wars thing was the ice cream maker, carried by Willrow Hood as he ran from cloud city in ESBNote that you can also do this itinerary starting in Bali and transfer to Java. Transportation in Java Ojek – Bekab (whatever they call it): Same concept than a taxi, but on a motorbike. You need to bargain the cost before you get on the bike. Ladies, please, be careful at night. The third stop was Yogyakarta. Trains were fully booked and I had to take a bus, which is more expensive. Although, I thought I had learned something in the Philippines and decided to take the bus without AC so I can save a few rupees (AC in the Philippines buses was insanely cold!). They said; it’s an overnight bus. It should take around 12 hours and you’ll be there in the morning.

This turned out to include a lot of early jet engine stuff - the perforated collars at the business end of the lightsabers are a very specific part from a very specific early jet, and are a matched pair - one character's saber has the female side, another has the male side.Hike your way up and enjoy. (The staff can provide you with all the information you need to do it without a tour) You won’t have to go all the way up there if you want to avoid the crowds! How do I know all of this? A an aircraft friend of mine had one of said engines in storage and was approached by a replica builder!
