Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya.
The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.


I didn't have much time to explore today, but here are some scenes from the Port.
Indonesians have an usual favorite beverage called Luwak Coffee, which is made from beans that are defecated by the asian palm civet or Luwak. These 2 young ladies, in the Port, were calling out to us all, to stop by and try it. Many of our fellow residents did, but not I, as I don't even drink coffee. However, I have tried some other unique foods while in Indoneia. Surprisingly, the Durian chocolate was the best, good chocolate really mask the usual nasty smell of durian fruit. The big baby peach candy was like a liquid gummy shot.
The port / ship provided a shuttle bus to take us into the center of town to a giant shopping mall, Bosco & I just went and got some errands done and had lunch at a Wok restaurant.
My favorite treat of the day was a magarita to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
