We flew out of Yogyakarta and spent our last two days in Jakarta. When the plane arrived in Jakarta, we were all tired and one of us was sick. We were all wanting nothing more than to be at our hotel, but the plane took the better part of 30 minutes driving to its parking bay. Then, when walking down the stairs to disembark from the plane we had to board a bus, which drove us to the airport. I made a joking comment on the plane that this might happen. Really, I didn't think it would...

When trying to find a taxi to drive us to our hotel, we were swamped by the unofficial drives whom you had to negotiate, but the police came and these drives quickly disappeared into the airport crowd. By this time we had organized a taxi with a metre and were waiting for it to arrive. Our hotel was brillant, we all got upgrade to two bed room suites and we had a excellent view of the surrounding suburb of Jakarta. Jakarta though bigger reminded me a lot of Brisbane in Australia.

These are some pictures of Menteng, Jakarta. We hang around Menteng the last two days as we were too tired to do much else.

This is a model of the Menteng suburb of Jakarta. It has our hotel, Epicwalk, the Australian Embassy and the new Trans Jakarta busways. Plus many, many more things...
