Travel Day: Jakarta to Yogyakarta




November 7th
Dawn over the City

We took the "executive class" train from Jakarta to Yogyakarta.  Our train, one of three that morning, was 95% empty for the full 8 hours.  The journey was filled with rice fields.  Much of the labor is still done by hand.  November is the very begining of the wet season in Java.  A number of the paddies were being planted with fresh transplant starts, while a few late paddies were just being harvested.
