The Puncak


Once a year we get to go away for the weekend, to stay at the school cabin in the Puncak. This is a beautiful hilly area at about 1 1/2 hours from Jakarta. It's is usually a lot cooler, it rains a lot and it has FRESH air. The cabin is in a park with tennis courts, swimming pool and lots of trees.
For the kids the main thing is nearby Taman Safari, which is an outdoor animal park with many special attractions for kids.
This year we only got to stay for 2 days, since we had to be back in Jakarta on Sunday for our Thanksgiving dinner.



On a different note, I finally bought a bike. Can you believe that I have lived here for 9 years and never had a bicycle? What kind of Dutch boy is that? Well, I am sure that horrible traffic and terrible pollution had a lot to do with that. Anyway, since we live in a quiet neighbourhood with little traffic I decided to go for it ( inspired by Butch, who bought one last week) and got a nice mountain bike with kid's seat. The kids love it and fight every day over who gets to go on first.
