| Me, Jana and Biba in Floating Market |
I had a chance to go together with another backpackers when two
backpackers from Slovakia asked for host in Banjarmasin through Couch
Surfing. They want to see Banjarasin city especially Floating Market,
and we went there succesfully. The only thing that i felt awesome from
this trip was Mountain Meratus hiking explore without guide, so this is
the story.
I was not alone, i went with two brave
bacpackers from Slovakia, they are Jana and Biba. Jana is
college-exchange student from Bandung, she learn about Indonesia
cultures and the other is Biba, she is biologist college student.

Then in the
morning we went to the Meratus Mountains for the entire day. We hiked
through the jungle for three hours and we almost got lost because we
didn't hire a guide since it was too expensive. So, using just the
directions from one of the local residents, we went in for free. My
Slovakian friends sometimes stopped to take pics (or photos) of plants.

It
will be great to hear about your trip. I can't call you earlier than
7:45 because I'll just be getting up and mornings are always busy since I
have to leave at 8:45. If you're not available for any reason, don't
worry. We'll keep rescheduling. The next free morning for me will be
on Saturday.
