Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Malang
Malang is a cool, hilly city in East Java, at about 450 metres, and the altitude is the thing everyone mentions. After the heat of Surabaya, a couple of hours to the north, the evening air is a relief, and for the Dutch it was a favourite hill station, laid out in the early twentieth century with broad avenues, big trees and neat colonial villas around the central square. Some of that has survived, and the old streets near the Tugu monument still have a faded charm, though the city is now large and busy, with a university population and a lot of motorbikes.
