But first: the 8-hour train from Yogyakarta to Bandung starting with loading at Yogya Station.
On route. This couple across the aisle got our of their seats at each stop. Why? I followed them the 5th time. She to the toilet; he to smoke.
Coffee + power for your electronic devices + cassava chips + a view = Nice.

I so much love your blog. Thanks for doing this. What a happy smile that John has in the photo with the coffee!
ReplyDeleteWow, way cool buildings - I had no idea there was Art Deco in Indonesia. I suppose you couldn't find some Art Nouveau as well?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good train ride.
You're very specialized in finding and shooting Art Deco buildings on your travels! It's one of the consistent quests. We watched a Luis Barragan documentary yesterday and I added his casa on the must see list.
ReplyDeleteSusan, Thanks! What can be better than Javanese coffee on a train. No wonder I'm smiling. ;-)
ReplyDeleteKathy, Thanks! The only Art Nouveau we saw were some Tiffany lamps in the Sultan's Palace in Jogjakarta.
Weiqing, It's always good to have architectural quests when traveling. Good luck with yours!
The pictures are awesome. I enjoy revisiting the beautiful art decco buildings. Pleased to see that the bag Jake made for you is useful.
