Try driving from the ferry port at christmas or new year. Going down the west coast takes longer with traffic jams and trucks and B plates. A nice easy drive up the east coast, stop at Teluk Karang Dive & Spa Resort for lunch then stay the night or catch the ferry to Banyuwangi and stay at Ketapang Indah Hotel. Great view over looking the water with the mountains of Bali in the back ground. I have taken over 14 hour to drive from Banyuwangi to Surabaya at new year, never again.
