Eric, Lynda and I have breakfast together. Ian has one of these “jobs” we hear so much about, so he misses out. Lynda goes off to teach English at the school Ian works at, and Eric and I head to the city centre to purchase our train ticket to Yogyakarta and then do some sightseeing.
I cannot get over the size and traffic of Jakarta – it is absolutely huge. Its population is larger than the population of Canada and by public transport it takes us 2 hours to get to the city centre.
Our train ticket is purchased without a glitch, so we wander over to the National monument and look around. We walk around the museum at the base of the tower and then take a ride up to view the skyline of Jakarta. The skyline goes forever!
To thank Lynda and Ian for their hospitality we take them for a nice dinner at one of their favourite local restaurants. It’s a great end to a great visit.
Tomorrow we leave for Yogyakarta bright and early!
