It’s so great to be back in the chaos of Jakarta after spending the past five months back home in Melbourne. As Summer finished and the days grew colder I dreamed of returning to the heat and confusion and somehow my dream came true and here I am again.. and I feel incredibly blessed. So we decided to have an adventure and see something new in Jakarta that can’t been seen back home. First up was catching the Metro Mini to Pasar Minggu train station and then heading to Manggarai.

Waiting for the train in the stifling heat. Apparently there's no train timetables, so you could be waiting awhile..

Greeted at Manggarai Train Station by barbed wire, meant to deter commuters travelling on the train roof. Highly dangerous and so far it has made no difference...
