We spent Saturday morning at the Jakarta History Museum. Jackson’s favorites were the prisons. One prison for the women and one for the men. The women’s prison was smaller, with no windows. The men’s prison was larger, and with barred windows.
My favorites were the furniture and textiles.
It was a fun morning and then we went to a local historic restaurant called Batavia. We cooled off in the air conditioning and had fresh squeezed orange juice and a fried noodle dish to share. It was delicious, but I was envious of those who ordered the almond croissants. They were huge and fluffy and looked fabulous! Some folks in our group ordered coconut water – in the coconuts!
