April 21 - 23. Jakarta. Arrived late and without the assistance of a Lonely Planet guide book. Found a cab who took us to the cities backpacker ghetto for next to nothing. Spent several days in Jakarta planing our next move and taking in the cities delicious foods.

While in Jakarta I found my favorite street in Asia. No traffic at all, great food vendors and central location. Turns out the president of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, was going out to dinner. Explained the mellow traffic situation and come to think of it all the police.

Regretfully we didn't venture around Jakarta much at all. Back to the beach Bali bound.
