Jakarta to Bandung

The Aeyelts' Arrival


Dutch remnants in Jakarta (Batavia as they called it)


The Aeyelts boys and their boats


The old wharf of Batavia Marina


Watchtower from the colonial days in Batavia


Along with an enormous garrison


Batavia's old Town Hall still intact


Old school Mercedes like my Oma and Opa had


The monument at the centre of Jakarta's National Musuem


Train from Jakarta to Bandung


Let's play spot the tourists...


Local Sundanese cuisine


A fantastic food market near our guesthouse


Kroepoek galore! 


A tour of the tea plantations @ 1500m (nice and cool compared to Jakarta)


Public Bus (bemo) service in Bandung


Photographing the locals (it's usually the other way around over here)


A product from the bowels of the Earth


Local hot springs up in the mountains


Open taxi shuttle to the Kawa Putih crater


More tea plantations. Yawn.


Warner downstream where the hot and cold water meet; this confused the locals


Inside the Kawa Putih crater


Our current expedition crew


Indonesian get-rich scheme: 1. Feed Civets coffee beans 


2. Separate the beans (left) from the droppings (right)


3. Make a fancy looking sign


4. Sell it to foreigners


More stories to come, just in the process of creating them.
On our way to Yogyakarta!
