Good morning. We were back at our hotel by 7pm plus last evening. We passed by the entrance of Ocean Dream Samudra yesterday & that would be our plans for today.
We were given a map & the timings of the various shows & we marked out the show accordingly - animal variety show @ 0945, sealion show @ 1030, dolphin show @ 1115, 4D SpongeBob @ 1200, Dolphins & Mermaids show @ 1230, Stuntman show @ 1315. There were different timings for each show and we want to make the best usage of time.
** there were 2 other shows that we missed as they crashed with some of the other show timings. 4D The good, The bad & A Horse / 4D Dora Adventures. Though you can still watched them at a later timing @ 1500 & 1600 respectively but that would mean staying almost the whole day there. **
Luckily, Rachel forgotten all about the Dora Adventure. She was wincing on why we couldn't watch that instead of SpongeBob. We have explained to her that Dora's show timing was @ 1300. If we watched that, then we would missed the stuntman show @ 1315. The next show would be at 1515 then.
Admission: 90,000 rupiah/person. Being a Monday, there was not much of a crowd, except for some students on excursions.
Animal Show with otters, hippos, sun bears & also the sea lion show.
Dolphins Show.
Mermaids & Dolphins Show. Supposingdly about how some divers discovered the mermaids, dolphins saving their lives & so on. The introduction at the beginning of the show was again in Bahasa Indonesia. Oh well..
Scorpions Pirates Water Stuntman Show. The guy above in the photo was quite comical with his actions & expressions.
There were real explosions & stunts, very realistic.
Since we finished our highlight of the day, we browsed through our map & saw Snow City. Now, this was interesting. We took a shuttle bus (FOC) with some help from the locals to get to Ancol Mall. Note: There are different bus routes around Ancol. Be sure to study the bus guide before you board a bus.
How is it we never noticed that there was a Snow City when we were at the mall yesterday? I was getting excited. The afternoon sun was scorching & it would be so cooling to be in the snow. A check with the security guard at the mall & was told Snow City has since closed down. So the map was not updated!!! So much for all the excitement!
Walking aimlessly by the beach area, it started to drizzle again. We took another cab out to Mangga Dua Square for shopping. This building is actually within walking distance from Ancol but Ancol is so big, walking to the mall would be very tiring, depending where you start from.
Mangga Dua Sq is something like Platinum Mall, Bangkok. You have shoes on 1 level, then clothings on another, bags & such on another, etc...
Our dinner @ Tio Ciu 99. Same cooking style like our Singapore's Tze Char.
