We spent today driving into Jakarta and seeing some sights and shopping. We first visited the old Dutch part of town in what was originally Batavia. We had some coffee at the beautiful Cafe Batavia and visited the national museum, etc... The cafe is said to have one of the top ten bars in the world. Strangely enough it is covered in cow hide.

| Old Dutch Government building |

| Old City Square |

| Cafe Batavia... duh. |
 |
| Supposedly a top 10 bar in the world (according to Newsweek) |
 |
| Just to try and show the sheer amount of traffic |
We had lunch at a German restaurant which may sound weird but was delicious... Filling enough that dinner tonight was optional. We then did some shopping at one of the large malls in Jakarta and headed home in the crazy traffic. Arif drove today which is quite an adventure with all the cars and millions of little motorcycles.
Tomorrow morning we begin our trip for home. It will be nice to see Liam and Owen and sleep in our own bed.
