Thanks for watching our first ever Indonesia Travel Vlog!!! This is our first day exploring Jakarta, Indonesia. Before we went to Jakarta, we couldn't find too much information on what to do in Jakarta so we didn't have very high expectations....however Jakarta amazed us! We were lucky that we happened to arrive on a Saturday evening and stumbled upon a blog post that talked about Jakarta's 'Car Free Day'. We knew that this was something we really wanted to see!! The following morning we got up early and headed to the main road which is completely closed to cars every Sunday morning! Instead it was full of people biking, running, walking, and just enjoying the big city! It was such an amazing feeling to walk along a huge city street with no cars! We were also so surprised by how kind everyone was! When we were tired of walking we tried to take Jakarta's metrobus to the Monas, however we couldn't buy a bus card (and we didn't have Indonesian SIM cards to be able to use our phones). One man who got off the bus saw us struggling and proceeded to walk us the whole way to Indomaret, order our transit cards for us, and walk us the whole way back to the metro bus all while giving us amazing tips on what to do in Jakarta! Once we were back and getting on the train, Carles didn't have a mask and another random person from Jakarta just gave him a mask so he could get on the bus! Then once we got off the bus, we couldn't find the entrance to the Monas and another man walked us to it! SO NICE!!!
After exploring the national monument, we stopped to eat our first ever Indonesian food! We tried Nasi Goreng and Ayam Bakar both of which were so good! After eating we were able to get a SIM card so we continued on to the famous Istiqial Mosque in Jakarta the 3rd biggest mosque in the WORLD! We were lucky that we arrived right before a free tour of the mosque. After there, we walked across the street to the cathedral. They were purposefully built right across the street from each other to show that both religions live together peacefully in Indonesia so cool! From there we took a tuktuk up to Kota Tua the old Dutch area of Jakarta. We stopped at the famous Cafe Batavia in Taman Fatahillah Square. The coffee and cake were SO good! Unfortunately then it started raining so we cut our day a little early to go home and rest.....but don't worry, we have more Jakarta videos coming soon! ❤
