Accomodation for 1 night 430,000 IDR (by 2)
Taxis to/from hotel 220,000 IDR (by 2)
Dinner at the hotel 55,000 IDR
Airport departure taxes 40,000 IDR
420,000 IDR for the day (approx £21) considering we stayed in the hotel (POP! Airport Hotel Jakarta) the whole time, is quite expensive but we were paying for convenience. There wasn't anything of note I did in Jakarta so no recommendations. We wanted to get out to Bogor so hopefully we've got more luck next time!
We got ripped off on taxis twice (one saying he had no change for the original 60k fare, and the other insisting it 150k was as cheap as we would find but we haggled to 120k and gave in). And, although legitimate, we weren't expecting the departure fees at the airport since we were staying within the country.
Our dinner was at the hotel but still nice, I ate the Ayam Bakar and it was basically like a barbeque chicken, really tasty. But please, avoid all orange juice in Asia, it's like pulpy squash, not nice.
Jakarta was only intended as a pit stop so onwards we go for our 5am flight to Yogja.
