a small taste of south asia
This is the entrance to the Hotel Manohara on the grounds of the park around Borobodur. (a little way from Condong Cator, which the map insists on imposing). Short flight from Singapore, met in airport and driven here, seeing one of the temples on its pilgimsge route along the way. Hotel is a series of structures--reception-with-breakfast, lounge, dining hall, various clusters of bedrooms--linked by gravel paths. All on one level, looking out over pleasant grounds, with the Temple just visible through lush foliage. Room delightful because of all the OUTLETS in easy places to recharge Nook and phone and computer. Also each room has its own porch from which to contemplate the monsoon rains, heavy in the afternoons.
