I reach at Pulau Perio at a port in Jakarta. Too bring down my bike from the Vessel I have to pay 15.000R. I cycle down to Jalan Mangga 2, Here I want to meet a friend introduce by a friend in Malaysia Veno. I met Mr. Gopal at his office. He gave me some advice and warn me of the people of Indonesia, Mr. Gopal introduce one of his staff to me and he took me to his house. I spend a night with him. He live on top floor of a old wooden building in Jakarta town. I have to go down for bath and pay 1000R. It was fun and feel how the poor people live in Town. At night he took me round the Jakarta Town. We had a few bottle of beers. He was very friendly man. He is expecting to be a father in two month time. I have no problem cycling from Pulau Perio to Jakarta Town. The traffic was heavy but things goes well. They are crazy drivers but I have to be crazy too.

Hey David,
You sound like you're having a good time! Keep well, my friend.
By the way, a picture of the two of us appeared in The Star newspaper today - I will send you a pdf copy. This was in my second article on my ride and I wrote about you. You're becoming more and more famous every day!
take care, my friend.
John

Keep pedalling. I'm following your trip closely. I'm also planning a Jawa island ride in 2008
