Melbourne

 It was a nice grey day.  I was busy most of the time trying to restore my hard drive, buying a new one and testing it before we left town.  Sorry there are not more pictures.

Tanjung Priok, Jakarta Indonesia

I had about 4 hours in Jakarta due to a late arrival and music playing schedules.  I took the shuttle bus to the mall thinking I could go outside and walk around some neighbor hoods but it was like California. If you didn't have a car there was no place to go.  Most of the pictures were taken from the Shuttle bus as we drove to and from the Mall.  The contrast of rich and poor in such a small area was amazing.  The temperature was about 90 degrees and 85% humidity and the smog was very bad.
