Trip to Cilegon

Several weeks ago, early one morning, I traveled out to the plant site with B. I took with me all manner of stuff to block mosquito access into his apartment at the Mambruk where he stays several nights a week. My "repair" kit included several types of window and door stripping, a bottom of the door sweep, a newly purchased hacksaw to cut it to size, tuille to tape over the window screen in the bathroom ( too long a story to detail here). B and our driver Oky think I am a curse on the trip. The trip out for B usually takes no longer than 1.5 hours. Our trip on this morning 3+ hours.

This is where we first encountered a problem. An accident in front of us. Traffic is heading in the same direction in both lanes at this point. We diverted. See the tiny little access with two scooters on it? We turned as well, along with tons of other vehicles—cars and scooters.

 It was ok at first.

 Tiny little passageway!

A couple of nice views!

I think the next photo was taken shortly before we had to turn around! Traffic was so backed up here no one could pass through. I don't know how Oky managed to turn around. Please applaud now for Oky!!!!!!!!!

All of my work done, I returned home with Oky the next morning. That trip nearly 4 hours! Incidentally, on my arrival at the B's apartment I killed at least 20 mosquitoes as I started working. There were so many gaps to fill. B reports that on his next trip to the apartment, no mosquitoes. Success!

And while we are on the subject of Cilegon and the plant site, here's a snap of the Administration Building nearing completion. It is behind that tall wall— you can just see 3 dark blue segments of the roof off in the distance as we approach the site to drop B off.

In this shot you get to see the building. I think the large dirt pile belongs to a neighboring plant(?)
