Today is our 200th day on the road!!!!!
After a questionable flight from Jakarta on Lion Air we arrived in Yogyakarta (Jogja) yesterday evening. The hotel is really nice and in a good location in town. Lots of local eats on the road but not to far from the bars!
Today we explored the city and visited the very underwhelming presidential palace and a place called Taman Sari or the water castle in English. Despite the name there was only a very small mount of water as all the pools were being drained. We found this particularly funny! In the afternoon we visited Borobudur. An ancient Buddhist temple similar to Angor Wat. It was very impressive despite the fact that everyone wanted a picture with us because we were white. I now have a new found respect for celebrities when it comes to this.
Today we also sorted out our movements until my parents arrive on the 26th. Tomorrow we leave for Mount Bromo and then the day after arrive in Bali after having hiked up the volcano in the morning! Wish us luck!!!
