Java

We are thoroughly enjoying our time riding across Java, there is so much to see and there is always a surprise around every corner. The people here are absolutely amazing too and are always so enthusiastic to hear about our journey.
​
A surprising fact about what isn’t even the biggest island in Indonesia, is that the population here is actually bigger than Russia’s! Java has a population of 151.6 million compared to Russia with 144.5 million. In terms of population density, that equates to 1,219 people per km2 here and 9 people per km2 in Russia. Now we know why the roads are so busy! To give those of you from the UK a better idea, the UK has a population density of 276 people per km2.
