Surakarta Village cycling tour

Third time travelling to Indonesia. Second bike tour with Ajib. Great e perience again. Went to businesses in villages like ri e cracker making and gamelan instruments blacksmiths workshop. Great guidance and explanations by Ajib.

We had an amazing trip. The cycling was easy along the rice-fields and in the small villages. The highlights of the tour were the visits to the different small scale industries. It was really nice to see what happens inside the homes and workplaces and to meet the people working and living there. We visited a rice-cracker workshop, a bronze gong making facility and a place that is supposed to produce only alcohol for pharmaceutical purpose. It still tasted okay ! Ajib was a very good guide and had clearly prepared well to get us inside all the places while respecting the social distancing protocol because of the covid-19 situation. At the end of the tour we were served a very nice lunch with local dishes.
