After breakfast, we headed to the supermarket located in the mall connected to our hotel to get some fruit for our room. This is the same supermarket as before.
Durian - you could smell this around the corner in the mall...
After picking up a bunch of mangoes (they had no mangosteen on this day, but had some later on), we went off for some sightseeing. We decided to see the National Monument
It's in the largest public square in SE Asia. It's here where we became a tourist attraction ourselves, again, as this is a large attraction for domestic tourists visiting Jakarta. The young girl in the turquoise shirt above desperately wanted photos of us (mostly my wife because she has red hair) so we spent about 10 minutes taking photos with the whole family. They then stayed with us while walking around, the young girl asking my wife lots of questions - like what were her hobbies, etc. You can go to the top of the monument, but to do so required standing on a long line, so we decided to skip it - especially considering that there really isn't much to see.
We then continued walking around the area on the way to the main mosque, the largest in Asia, only to find it closed - we forgot that it was Friday...
Some walking around photos:
