A Weekend in Yogjakarta
Last month we spent an enjoyable long weekend in Yogjakarta, a city on the island of Java. Yogja is about an hour flight from Jakarta, which was perfect for a weekend getaway. We had been wanting to go to Borobudur, a Buddhist temple, for some time and finally had the chance.
Most people go to Borobudur for sunrise because apparently the view is stunning. We opted to go once we had a "full" nights rest. (I think our days of sunrise adventures are on hold until Amelia is a bit older.) From our hotel it took about an hour to get to the temple and on the way we were able to see some of the aftermath from the recent eruption of Mt. Merapi.
Although there were plenty other temples to visit, we decided to save them for next time and instead took advantage of the lovely pool at our hotel.
