Jogja: Day 04

Today, we woke up early to have breakfast. Why, because at 8:00am, there will be a tour to Borobudur Temple and Prambanan Temple. This is the reason of why we chose to travel here this year. After breakfast, we waited at the lobby for the van. Then, we headed to our first destination, Borobudur Temple. Syah could not climb to the top as there are 150 steps to climb. So, only me, assisted with a tour guide reached the top level of the temple. Upon reaching the top level, I was amazed with the view.. Got some beautiful photos.

Now, when we got down and on our way to the van, we were surrounded by the souvenir sellers. I can't barely walk with all of them surrounding me like vultures. They even gave a good bargain price for the item that thay're selling. Too bad, it doesn't interests me. Only bought a pair of Borobudur Ashtray, made out of the lava rock.
After that, we headed to Kaliruang (hope this is the right spelling), but due to the bad weather, we skip to our third destination. Prambanan Temple. We had nasi padang for lunch before going to the temple. At Prambanan, due to the recent earthquake in 2006, some temples are badly destroyed. Photos of the destruction are shown to the tourists. A barrier to prevent the tourists from entering the temple, for safety reason but still manage to view the temple. It was so beautiful.


The tour ended around 4:30 pm. And we request the driver to drop us at Malioboro Street for us to look for Money Changer. Walking back to Malioboro Mall and had dinner there. Malioboro is always a good place to visit. You can find almost anything there. Headed back to the hotel, tired but satisfied.
