LABUAN is a dull and dirty port town, but it has good transport
connections (3hr by frequent bus from Jakarta's Kalideres terminal) and
is the best place to arrange independent trips to Krakatau , and to get
the essential park permits (Rp5000). These are available from the PHPA
parks office , which is quite far out along Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan,
heading towards Carita, almost opposite the Rawayan hotel. The BRI bank
on the south side of the bus terminal will change cash and travellers'
cheques. The post office is on Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan heading
towards Carita.
The best budget accommodation is Telaga Biru, just off Jl Raya Carita,
about 2km from Labuan, across the road from the sea (no phone); all the
quiet rooms have mandi inside. The more central Hotel Citra Ayu, Jl
Perintis Kemerdekaan 27 (tel 0253/81229; under $5), is basic but clean.
The nicest place in Labuan is Rawayan, out on the road towards Carita at
Jl Raya Carita 41 (tel 0253/81386; $15-25), with quaint bungalows and
private rooms, all en-suite.
