TAKE 2

Internet died earlier, think the whole server went down so this is take 2:
Me and Jen are chillin out in our rather nice hotel room today-Its a bit of a haven from Jl Jaksa/Jakarta which so far seems to have very little positives....! When we flew we went over gorgeous pale blue sea dusted with hundreds of different islands scattered with palm trees, which seems to be a far cry from where we are at the mo- its been pouring down all day and is very humid and sticky. (im currently listening to a shockingly awful interpretation of Bob Marleys exodus in Indonesian scattered with the word tsunami every few mins, which must be a hit as all indonesian men in the internet cafe are singing along!)
So tomorrow is going to be a travel day, where escaping jakarta for Bogor (about 90mins by train) which with any luck will still have award winning botanical gardens.....its a good stepping off point for the rest of java, and should hopefully contain some friendly backpackers who we can befriend!
Not much else to comment on really- havnt tried ANY indonesian food yet as Jl Jaksa has got travellers-fare food to the T, with Italian restaurant numbering approx 12 so far. May be well try our luck later.
So to me we still havnt really started our trip yet....jakarta is pretty crap but then that isnt much of a suprise- the lonely planet says 'it has little to redeem itself' and they are known to be optimists!
Til net time- hopefully with more interesting news!
