Meeting Ibu Robin was one of the highlights of our trip in August, she is a lovely lady. I believe she was going back to Aceh some time after we were there so tht's probably why you haven't had a reply.
The easiest way to get there is as follows. Go into the Monkey Forest and walk right through to the back by the temple. As you exit MF there is a village and on the left is a cafe called "Kafe Copper". walk right past and continue until you come to a roundabout (about 1.5KM). Keep going straight and you will have entered Nyuh Kuning. Ibu Robins house is on the left but does not have any indication that it is her place. Bumi Sehat/Birthing Clinic is on the right about 200 metres before a "T" Junction.
We were staying "Tegal Sari" and walked to the clinic from there. We turned right outside TS and walked for almost 2KM befor coming to an intersection where we turned right. From there we walked another 1.5km to reach Nyuh Kuning. We turned right at the 1st "T" junction and found the clinic about 100 metres on the left.
If this all makes sense you will realise that we walked a complete circuit from Tegal Sari to "NK" through "MF" and along JL MF to JL Hanoman and Tegal Sari. If you want to ask more questions then feel free to Email.
