Even though we spend lots of time with the family in Jakarta this year,
we did plan in some short trips to Bali, Pulau Sepa (one of the
Thousand Islands in the Java Sea off Jakarta) and we will also make a
short stop in Bandung where Cherrie used to live before she moved to NL
with me. Here are the pictures from our time outside of
Jakarta.....

Jakarta - Dec 2009
It’s been three years since we’ve been the last time to Indonesia. In
December 2009 we came to celebrate Olives wedding (Cherries sister) and
to spend Christmas and New year with the family in Indonesia. It’s been
a wonderful time and Cora, Cherrie and I really loved being back and
meeting everyone again. This album contains all the photos taken during
our time in Jakarta. A huge thank you for making this such a great time
for us goes to the whole family but it particular to Bambang and
Sylvia….We will miss you!
Olive & Pieters wedding
The main reason for us to come to Indonesia this time beside Christmas,
New Year and of course the family and friends has been Olive and
Pieter’s wedding on 19.12. We thought this would be a huge wedding and
it sure was, at least by my European standards. The Church wedding took
place in a colonial protestant Church and though I could not understand
much of what was said in Church, it was just beautiful to see the
ceremony. Many of the guests were wearing traditional outfits and
colorful dresses and the weather was just perfect. Cora has been in
almost every picture and really enjoyed herself and all the attention.
The evening party was themed Batavia (Jakarta’s name during colonial
times) and the 1920ies. Some 1100 people came to celebrate with the
newly wed’s. It was one impressive wedding to remember and certainly
the biggest one I ever attended. Olive dan Pieter, Selamat Menempuh
Hidup Baru.
