Jakarta Reunion

Last weekend, Carl and I met up for a night out in Jakarta, which is located about halfway between Surabaya and Bangkok.

Here's the view from my hotel room.  Although we went out in the evening, we spent most of Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning by the pool


The goal of the trip was to catch up and kill some brain cells, but we did take in some of the local culture - this is a miniature reconstruction of  Indonesia's famous Borobudur temple, which is conveniently located about 50 yards from the pool


Chillin' by the pool


In the spirit of Peace Corps we snuck Vodka into the pool area in a plastic water bottle and mixed our own drinks.  In the spirit of being old dudes, we couldn't finish it all and had to poor it down the drain, so Carl could carry his fancy REI jug on his flight home.


Checking out in the hotel lounge - the first stop on the long road to recovery.... We've given ourselves 6 month to recuperate before our next trip - Bali
