About this audio guide
This guide to Sunda Kelapa, Jakarta's old harbour, starts on a narrow plank between a wooden pinisi schooner and the quay, where cargo still moves on men's shoulders. It follows what visitors do here for fun, from walking the planks to haggling with fishermen for a ride across the water. Best heard on the quay itself, with the painted bows in front of you.
