Introducing Bandarlampung

Bandarlampung is the transport hub for stepping into Sumatra from Java and used to see a lot of coming-and-going foreigners. But plane travel now whisks backpackers away from more-northern latitudes. Today visitors come on package tours to Way Kambas or Krakatau arranged in Jakarta.
