We did one day tour and our first location is Borobudur Temple. It’s located in the south and the journey from our hotel is an hour. Borobudur is a ninth-century Mahayana Buddhist monument in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa. Entrance fee for Non-Indonesian is USD 11.

Most of the time, we ate at the hotel. Yogyakarta is like Kuala Lumpur. Every evening is heavy rain. This photo taken with my favourite Indonesian dish call “Gado-Gado”. The dish quite healthy. Gado-Gado actually a vegetable salad served with a peanut sauce. We ate this twice. So healthy & yummy.

I have to admit that i took a lot photos in Yogyakarta, Indonesia until i have to create a few post for this trip. I went to Yogyakarta after Melaka.

Funny thing happened in Melaka. We missed our bus. I didn’t know that Malaysia bus very punctual. We just late 5 mins. If i were to blame someone, i will blame Paul. I shouldn’t let him go to washroom….or maybe i can do the same tactic what i did in Kuala Lumpur bus station (We are going to Melaka that time) – Go to the bus 1st. Inform the driver that Paul going to washroom for a couple of mins and waste the driver time by chit-chat with the driver & act super friendly. We manage to get other express bus but have to wait for 1 1/2 hours
