Second Day, Saturday 28 March 2009

cafe at Kombokarno Hotel

me at Vredeburg fortress

Malioboro market

Breakfast at Kombokarno Hotel at 06.30, then we go to Tugu Station to buy ticket from Jogja-Surabaya on Sunday evening, but the tickets are sold out! so we have to buy monday morning tickets, price Rp 55000 per person (Sancaka)

  • Make sure your schedule (date of departure and arrival) is fixed. Buy round trip ticket.

After we got the tickets, next is The Borobudur Temple in Magelang. It's about an hour trip, +/- 40 km from Jogjakarta. The entry ticket is Rp 15000 per person plus photo permit ticket Rp 1000 and handycam Rp 2000

  • Do not carry big backpack, it's better to carry handbag or "normal size" bag  because it will be left in deposit counter and in temple area is not allowed to carry food and drink bottle so.....we cheat, we hide the bottle  pssssstt, don't tell anyone...I think is a weird and ridiculous rules.

Why do they apply those "drink bottle" rules? because they already have cafe in exit area (and it's far from the temple also hot!!) 

Well, Borobudur Temple is the most largest Buddha temple in the world, it is really beautiful and awesome. I'm very proud with  this one of Indonesia's heritages

  • Bring along your umbrella and sunglasses because it's very very hot
