Taman Impian Jaya Ancol: Feed the sea turtles….

June 1st, 2006

Seaworld Indonesia is an aquarium. It isn’t as large as the name would suggest but definitely worth a visit. It is completely confirn western standards but the animals are slightly different… -coconut crabs in a nice vivarium -duyong -a touch-area with seaturtles , thornbacks , sharks -a large tunnel with full grown sea turtles and many tropical fish My absolute favorites are the sea turtles and the arapaima’s -2 hours for a visit will be enough , check when you enter the feeding times and join. -The best time to visit is in my opinion 9 in the morning before the place gets flooded by school children and before the noisy ‘educational’ shows take place -take a taxi inside the parc and let them drop you in front of seaworld. Ancol is the largest amusement parc in south east asia.

Taman Impian Jaya Ancol: Recreation, Art, Theatre, Sport, Sailing

… “Dreamland”… That is what Ancol has been named; a huge landscaped recreation park, providing non-stop entertainment, along the bayfront between Kota and Tanjung Priok. Have a great time with children and visit Ancol’s prime attractions include the Pasar Seni (Art Market), its many sidewalk cafes and gallery where there are often interesting exhibitions of modern Indonesian art and photography. Very crowded on weekends, but on week-days it’s fairly quiet and a splendid place to escape from the hassles of downtown city. Guess what I found: -> a painting of the Javanese Ratu Kidul, Spirit-Queen of the Southern Ocean. Cost-price 10.000$ included “special price-bargains” … so I started to paint myself ))
