kiki:
In #6 and 7 there is a sign saying Kesatriyan. I think it refers to Jalan Kesatriyan.

In this, there is a photo of the exact place.

In the photo we can see that on either side there are two short columns with numbers and a kind of symbol underneath.

In this site gives a detailed description of the whole Kraton palace and it says that Kesatriyan is an area of the palace.

From the same site

--- Quote ---Kesatriyan in his day used as the residence of the king's unmarried son. The main building is Pendapa Kesatriyan, Gedhong Pringgandani, and Gedhong Srikaton. Kesatriyan section is now used as a venue for events tourism. Among Plataran Kesatriyan Kedhaton and former horse stables, driven by the Sultan.
--- End quote ---


It might also be just a street name in Kelurahan.

AWESOME kiki!! :jumpy:

Neobie:
It's the junction of Jln Kemitbumen and Jln Kesatriyan, on the northern end of the latter. The intersection (7°48'23.9"S 110°21'54.7"E) is just southeast of the Pit Stop. Big photo here.

That "stone thing" is just the side of a small bridge over the canal. Can't read the sign on it though.

georgiapeach:
Thanks for the map Neobie!! :hearts:
 


NEW Race Promo now up in post 2!! More teams seen!

Neobie:
Oh, right. The numbers? :lol:

Indonesia became independent on 17 Aug 1945. x years later it is 17 Aug 200y, but the last number apparently dropped off.
And that emblem is the coat of arms of Indonesia.
