Six suitcases, check. Carry-on bag with laptop, Ipad, camera and jewelry, check, check, check. Pregnant belly still kicking and jabbing, check. Eighteen-month old, whew, check.

A Week in Snapshots: ❊14/05/12-20/05/12❊
It feels like we have finally settled back into a routine although we did have a holiday last Thursday.

Preview : Gunung Mas Tea Plantation
This is our last day in Puncak. On our way out we visited a tea plantation and factory. We really enjoyed our break and I’m certain I love my phone and cheap 3G service more everyday. Stay tuned for three one or two day escapades from Jakarta.

Just a little preview of our little day trip today. Lots of cool pictures coming soon! Hope you are all having a wonderful week!
Taking a break
We are taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the Big Durian and enjoying the cool weather the mountains have to offer. I will soon be writing about going camping with Evan. In the meantime, enjoy the view!
