Saturday ~ Time to plan out our plans for Monday~ We needed to get train tickets for our trip to Bandung. Nick had to stand for quite a while in a hot station and line to get the tickets and it seemed that everyone else too was traveling by train!
It was busy everywhere - but weekend's is when families get together and visit of course.
92 F today in Jakarta - 27 C...yes it feels like it but we do seem to be getting use to the weather...even though we do huff & puff after a day out!
We booked a train for Monday morning at 10:50 am and the trip will take 3.45 minutes to Bandung...we booked "executive" class - 1st class...$9,00 - each, and we hear it is a nice train ride south.
We wandered a little more through our "colonial" area and found a map showing the old buildings still standing.
We had heard this was the last draw-bridge the Dutch had put in...it is more a tourist sight now, it does not work anymore. But so cute to see...for you see these kind of bridges all over Holland!
(you can zoom into the picture so you can easily read them!)
See the English made this bridge - didn't realize it!
