Jakarta

A great sleep in a comfy bed definitely helped the body. Breakfast on the 25th floor which gave you quite a good view over part of the city though a haze was starting.
Taxi down to the maritime museum which has a leading watch tower and lots of displays on the history of the port and the country. A guide had somehow joined us which was fine until D asked about a tour round the old wooden harbour boats. Out of the museum we headed into a housing area behind the houses, through piles of rubbish, up a rickity staircase, onto a rickity boat or two gen onto our rickety fishing boat. Definitely not been health and safety checked. Boat took us round the area where the old wooden container boats are, some which I can't believe would make it out on another trip. Thankfully back to dry land, though still by the same route. Next stop, more for the AC was the aquarium, as we hadn't thought it through as a Saturday and very busy with families, still a nice we trip. Back to the hotel to flake out once more.
