Denny's Island
Here're the pics fresh from Denny's island:
Day 1
We begin by vegetating on wink's sofa in his Jakarta home. What a great start ;)
Day 2
View from the balcony of wink's Jakarta house, situated in a presumably chinese-dominated neighbourhood. Facilities include a manmade river, guards that salute your car when you horn, and riot gates to protect against looters.
An army runs on it's stomach, and an army of 6 slacking holiday-makers is no exception. Noodles with chicken to start the 2nd day.
With reinforcements arriving in the form of yow, we set off by road for the ferry terminal, with Denny's driver at the wheel.
Fairy goh having a personal moment with mitch in the car.
The car ferry that'll take us to Sumatra (aka Denny's island). With only *one* fire in the past 2 years it has an excellent safety record. By indo standards.
View of the Java coast before we set off.
Day 3
Since we've arrived safely in Lampung, Sumatra, food is again necessary for...
Exercising on a stationary treadmill...
And table tennis.
Mundmund being random.
Day 4
Lunch - we grin nervously at the mountain of food. This is for the 4 of us (fairygoh, mitchell, mundmund and me); another mountain looms beside bing, wink, and yow. Just looking at the food, you can feel the fat building up in you. The adults at the other table are busy discussing plans for world domination...
From their current dominion in Sumatra / Denny's island.
Inside the house in Lampung, Sumatra.
Wink driving us around.
The outside of the house.
The garden of Denny.
Bing learning to golf.
We venture to eat at a roadside stall...
And find average bee hoon...
Delicious noodles...
And imba (IMO) fried rice.
Day 5
We drive by some rural scenes on the way back to the ferry terminal.
Back in Jakarta, wink enjoys the company of yow and mitch (dun shy la).
Day 6
A shopping mall in Jakarta with a skating rink on the 3rd floor.
Gary's bespectacled tortoise. It's turned green from being held captive by fairygoh. Speculation is rife about the reason for the missing eye, but all possible explanations involve abuse by fairygoh.
All of us with wink's parents, who've been wonderful hosts throughout our stay.
Us with wink's driver, who skilfully weaved our car through indo's roads, which incidentally have more traffic police than traffic lights.
Clever fairygoh left his phone on during the flight. Thankfully, we're not sleeping with the fishes in the straits of malacca now.
Yow chastising fairygoh for his actions. Actually he had blocked eustachian tubes and was relieving the pain in his ears by playing whack-the-gary.
Good to be home.
