From Dumai to Jakarta

We went for a short holiday to Indonesia recently and here are our travel notes.

May 27, 2008 - Shah Alam to Dumai

We left Shah Alam at about 6:00 am and reached Melaka Port at about 8:30 am. We still chose Melaka as it is less crowded and the time on ferry would be only about 2 hours compared to 4 hours if we were to go from Port Klang to Dumai.

On the ferry, we managed to watch a funny Malay movie called Duyung that kept us awake throughout the whole trip so that we could watch over Pasha, who decided not sleep, at the same time.

May 28, 2008 - Dumai to Jakarta

We took an afternoon flight from Dumai to Jakarta. Pasha did not get a seat like the previous trip since Pelita Air has numbered seats unlike AirAsia. So, he had to sit on our laps for the 2 hours 45 minutes flight.

Here are photos of Pasha and Mama Diah on the plane. Pasha refused to be seated throughout the flight and he insisted to be let loose to walk along the aisle from front to the back of the Fokker 100. He would cry and scream if we were to stop him and to cool him down we took turn to accompany him from the front to the back of the plane while he greeted all the seated passengers.

May 29, 2008 - Jet Lag in Jakarta

Here is a photo of Pasha and Papa Bear having a jet lag... The next photo is Pasha playing with his Mickey Mouse puppet before leaving for Taman Safari in Bogor. That will be in the next update.
