Day 21 (26/01/2011) Jakarta

Because we got home quite early in the morning we didn't leave the beds before one in the afternoon, which changed our plans we made the previous day.
We left the hotel and went through the city to see at least something from the city. The first and last object was the Monument of Independency. Very impressive and the park around the monument was such a change to the rest of the city, really quite and not as smelly. We enjoyed the sun and the view above the city.
A few people asked if they could take a picture with us, not sure why they wanted it, but we did them the favour and hopefully made them happy.
We spend a little bit time in the park before checking out the golden triangle. The streets were full of cars and motorbikes and I really could understand why some people wear the mouth protection.
We were happy that we decided to go for Bali instead of spending 5 days around this city. Next time we will be more outside and more of Java in general. Such a shame if you only have a few days…
Because we booked a flight around six in the morning for Bali, we had to check out around 3 am, which meant that we went to bed very early and just enjoyed a dinner out.
I would say that it was nice to have been to Jakarta, but I would not do it again.
