Banjarmasin City of River -Part 1 - Indonesia Travel Tips, News & Experience

Banjarmasin City of River -Part 1


Banjarmasin is a city in South Kalimantan (Borneo). Last week, I had a chance to visit Banjarmasin for the first time. This is the first part of my experience to visit that city.

Since there ara many aircraft accidents lately, I decided to choose Garuda to fly with. Garuda is the safest flight carrier in Indonesia.
Worse of the worst, at the same day to my flight, Garuda also had a terrible accident in Yogyakarta (more than 10 people died). Imagine how afraid I am then to fly only a few hours later. See the fig on the left, thats the photo I took on the same day with the accident at Sukarno-Hatta Airport Jakarta. It shows many reporter try to capture one of the family victim visiting Garuda Care Center.

During the flight, I experienced many turbulence and it scared me, really. I never afraid to fly before, but this time, I'm.

Fortunately we land savely at Syamsoedin Nur Airport of Banjarmasin. Thank God.....

We stay at Hotel Banjarmasin International, I don't think that I will ever stay at that Hotel anymore. We got the most expensive room available the suite room, since all the other room already booked. The room is dirty, and considering the rate around USD 100, the room is not convenient. It doesn't worth your money at all, trust me.

Tommorow, I will go to Pasar Apung (Floating Market) over Barito river. I will write it on my next post.

See You.
