  • Aaaand back to Jakarta 🥟🌆

    September 16, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    It is time. To start moving back toward Europe. Sucks, I know. We woke up in Flores, few hours later we're in Jakarta again, full of smog. But we have whole Saturday still!
    My Lili found a puppet master somewhere hidden away in an alley to show me shadow dolls, this stuff is amazing! And the guy explained it all, showed us a short play (original is 9 hours long!). This craft been in his family for generations. This country is wonderful!
    We chilled is the city, walked to China Town for good dumplings, yumm-eee! Best ones I've ever had! 😋
    How it's evening time. But we're planning one more tour tomorrow - around Jakarta 😃

  • Jakarta

    September 17, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Ah, it's last day. I'm feeling a bit sad for having to leave this country. It's so lovely. And we had to wake up early again because Lili found this nice tour around harbor. Yay!
    We got kicked up with tuktuk and taken to harbor. This is where all fish boats are, unloading their catch, huge business. It's also dirty and smelly haha. But this is where all the fish comes to Jakarta. It's quite busy in the morning 🐠
    After we were taken to nearby village where all live from fish. It's more of a slum really 😕 Got some many smiles from little kids and tiny high 5s 😃
    It was a hot day! We went then to the oldest harbour in Jakarta along with the oldest village in Jakarta, where of course are still some Dutch building and all. I wasn't even paying much attention, so hot! We also went to some ship that is about to go out tomorrow, huge! Awesome!
    We ended up in China Town. They have it all, including komodo dragons, which we found quite bad 😕
    Anyways, chilling by the pool now, having last Bintangs before dinner and taxi to airport. I'll miss this country so much 🥲

  • Bye Indonesia, you were lovely!

    September 18, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    All nice travels come to end sooner or later. But as my friend says it's just the opportunity to have a next one 😊
    Indonesia was amazing, at first I didn't know what to expect but this was beyond all! Big cities, tiny cities, villages, volcanoes, long beaches white and black, diving, dragons, mantas, you name it, Indonesia has it all! And mostly it was just dreamy traveling with my love Lili ❤️, the best companion and our travel/communication officer 😃
    But this is just a pause, Indonesia, we're coming back, we're not done diving yet, so much more to see and explore, so many tiny granmas to smile to. And there is Raja Ampat to explore (🤘). Hope to come back soon. And thanks for all the fish 😃
