Mid-week outing

Today was a public holiday, so we got up early and had a quick swim in the morning sun, and then set off for a trip around northern Jakarta. First stop was Sunda Kelapa, where the world's only remaining commercial sailing fleet docks to load and unload goods from across the region. I saw some really big boats there!
Next we went to see the old Dutch fort, which used to protect the port and city in old times.
I played on the cannons, and saw a really big anchor.
Next we went shopping at Pasar Baroe. While the name means "new market" it's actually a very old market used since Dutch times. We bought some shoes, and I saw a wonderful toy bird.
Finally, at sunset, we went to Taman Menteng. I brought my bike, and rode around for ages.

I wonder what we'll get up to next weekend!

A Lazy Sunday

Today we had a lovely lazy Sunday. We had ice cream in a "boat" in Pacific Place.

Then we went swimming and I learnt to fly up high in the sky on Daddy's hands.

I can now swim around by kicking my legs.

Then I decided to lie back and take it easy for a while.

I love lazy Sundays.

Happy Birthday Agung Yanie

Today we celebrated Agung Yanie's birthday. We all went to Kemanggisan and had a lovely meal. I was in disguise as Superman, so no-one knew it was Alex who was there to protect them!

Puppet Museum

This morning Mummy and Daddy took me to the Puppet Museum in Jakarta historic Kota district. We saw lots of puppets, some smaller than me and some twice the size of Daddy. Some puppets were flat and called Wayang Kulit, and others were round and called Wayang Golek. There were also puppets from all round the world.
After seeing the puppets, we also had some food at Cafe Batavia, and then went to Museum Fatahilla, which is Indonesia's museum of history. There were lots of old items from past ages. I especially liked the dungeon for prisoners under the building.

Super Hero

My Oma and Opa brought me a super hero costume from Kuala Lumpur. Now I'm training to fight crime and bring justice to this world.

Dengue Fever and Senggigi Beach

Last week I had dengue fever. My temperature went up to 40.5 degrees, and my Mummy was so worried for me. However, I felt fine, and continued running around like normal!

So when my temperature came back to normal, we decided to take a short weekend holiday at Senggigi in Lombok.
We all played on the beach, and had a great time.

Uluwatu

Last weekend, we all went to Bali for the wedding of my Aunty Arlene. The wedding was held at Uluwatu, on top of a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean.
We stayed at Nusa Dua, and had a great time playing in the playhouse.
I also had a great time playing with my third cousin, Kakak Sasha. Hello Kakak Sasha!
