March 3rd - Semarang, Indonesia

Today was another exciting day on the roads through the busy Indonesian
traffic.

First stop was to a Chinese temple built to honor Sam Po Thay Jin who came
from China to Semarang in 1401.

We then headed to Ambarawa and visited a Train Museum and boarded an old
steam train for a scenic ride through the "Rawapening Swamp" arriving in
Tantang. Feeling very lucky, again our rain shower came while traveling to
this destination.

Last stop was the Tlogo Agro Plantation where the primary crop is coffee,
but they also grow rubber, and various fruits, vegetables and spices.

There is a resort in the middle of this plantation where we were served some
of the local treats and their very own coffee.

It was a long ride back to the ship, so I just sat back and enjoyed some of
the beautiful countryside. We were late getting back again, but this time
we arrived before sail away time!
