Air Purifier update
I am happy to report that our Honeywell air purifier is still going strong after almost 7 months. I just replaced the pre-filter for the third time. We don't quite make it to the recommended 3 months for changing, but this is Jakarta after all...

Belitung Island
We took a long weekend trip to a local favorite – Belitung Island. It is not in any of the travel books yet and is amazing. It is known for beautiful white sand beaches with large granite boulders randomly strewn about. The island used to be mined for tin as well back in the day.
The first day, we visited a beautiful beach called Tanjung Tinggi where we rented an inflatable raft and explored the granite boulders randomly strewn around. We also had an amazing seafood meal overlooking the beach. We also visited another beach called Bukit Berahu where we watched the sunset and watched a 6 foot snake chase a rat in the rocks. Exciting!
The second day, we hired a boat and visited several islands (one had an old Dutch lighthouse constructed in 1882) and went snorkeling.
Out last morning there, we strolled to Tanjung Pandan beach and walked about the beach chasing crabs and other small sea creatures before heading back to Jakarta.
It was an amazing place and hopefully we can return another time!
