Day #4, Wednesday, leaving Jakarta, to Yogyakarta
Slept until 9. Woke up by staff asking about if I had any laundry.
I asked if I could leave some clothes at the hotel and pick them up three weeks later. It was fine, I did, but later, they throw away my clothes and I had compensation for this, 1 million rupha = $100 US. (But I didn’t know that at the time, of-course!!)
I got one hour in the sun. Must work on the tan… Even if I’m dark, I still must start soft!
This day I was going to Yougakarta. I had my first experience of this “eye contact moment”. When you meet a person, look in the eye… and just smile!! It also happen later in on the journey.
In the evening, I was looking for new glasses. Yogyakarta is little more soft and calm than Jakarta. Not so hectic.

Arriving to Yogyakarta, photos from the air.
Enjoying java at Java!! The second hotel, Arjuna.
View from the restaurant. At first, I thought Indonesians were very well organized to park the motorbikes in nice rows. I later learned that people simply “adopt” part of public infrastructure as their own property and make a business of it… So, this is a “private” parking on a public pathway! Creative, indeed!! These creative businesses are *everywhere*!
