Batavia
Rented a bus, driver included, who drove us from Bogor to Jakarta to meet the Peilow family: Tante Babes, Enrico, Lisa and Sigrid, who lead us through Jakarta. We visited the Jakarta harbour and the old Stadhuis of Batavia. (Dad knew this). Next we went shopping in a large shopping center where we also had something to eat. Then we went to Jalan Wijaya; Claire used to live here, but the house and the neighborhood had all changed and she didn't recognize it. Next we went to Jalan Goa where Claire used to live also and this time she got real excited because she recognized it all. The house was empty but there was a bediende and his family watching the house. They let us in so we could have a look around, which was real nice. Claire said they used to have a swimming pool which was missing. Then we visited Claire's old school and sang Burung Kaka Tua on the school yard. Finally we went to the Peilow's residence, where we met the rest of the family and (of course) had diner (enak sekali). Some of us went with Sigrid and Lisa and tante Rita to their house to spend the night.Posted on August 2, 1996 at 12:00 AM in Claire, Indonesia | Permalink| Comments (1)
