We visited my grandparents in the morning & on a sad note, my grandpa couldn't even response to us calling him now. He can hear alright but he's living in his own world.
Our flight to Jakarta, Indonesia departs @ 1525hrs via Valueair (code sharing with Jetstar). We stayed at Mercure for the next 4 nites. When we did our research, there were 3 hotels available on Agoda.com near Ancol Dreamworld, North of Jakarta - Aston Service Apartments, Mercure Convention Hotel & Putri Duyong Resort.
Since dinner time was round the corner, we walked around the waterfront, looking for a suitable dining outlet. We came across Pasar Ikan & it was very crowded. Not knowing the "rules", we entered their restaurant & begin looking at their market area. So many different types of seafood to choose from, we didn't know where to start.
We asked a staff for assistance & he asked us for our number. Huh? What number? We shooked our heads. He replied in short, simple English:" Counter number, wait call, order, makan"
We then realised we have to get a number from the counter after registration, then wait for our number to be called before we can place our orders. Seems like going to the doctors. Looking at the crowd sitting inside & the crowd waiting outside, we gave up the idea.
We had dinner at Pizza Hut instead and boy, was the service terrible poor & the atmosphere warm. No aircon!! After dinner, we strolled along the waterfront, enjoying the sea breeze. A boatman approached us & invited us to take a ride in his boat. We paid 250,000 rupiah for a 20 mins ride.
Mercure Convention Hotel.
This is Pasar Ikan.
Pizza Hut which we spent a wasted 263,000 rupiah for the above meals.
Enjoying the sea breeze.
Putri Duyong Resort. They had various room types & one that caught our attention was the boat-like room which had their own private pool.
