Yogyakarta, Indonesia minggaangHere I am again in yet another "sketchy" internet cafe attempting to update you all with our latest and greatest adventures... here's hoping the autosave function actually works this time!! Grab a snack (or two) this may be a very long and wordy entry!! Back to Monday when we arrived in Jakarta... no big problems with customs/visas other than Trevor almost being denied entry due to lack of proof that he was planning on eventually leaving the country. All good though! We found ourselves quickl...
Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia moncastersWho are you? That was the recurring theme of our "Religion" tour today. We had booked a four hour religion tour via motorbike Our tour guides were two fantastic young (I guess anyhow...) Indonesians - the guy Hindu and the girl formerly Christian (Christian family) now exploring Islam. The "goal" of the tour was to visit a number of places of worship - a Hindu temple, Christian church, Muslim mosque, and a Javanese place of worship and discuss the similarities/differences/significance of each...
Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia moncastersOur last day in Yogyakarta... This city has been good to us but I am anxious to move on to Bali tonight!! The fancy pants Taste of East Java buffet that we had been salivating over all day yesterday...? A bust. Completely. I have come to realize that I am truly not a fan of this cuisine... I've tried to have an open mind (and belly) but I just don't enjoy it - not the main course, side dishes, desserts, fruits, nothing. Unfortunate!! Had a couple squares of fried tofu, some noodles, and some ...

In the morning I went down for breakfast close to midday. I went on the internet to do a bit of blogging, then Gungding, the Indonesian general handyman bloke who works for Robert, and who possesses a name sounding like a colonialist's servant straight out of a Kipling novel, took me to a few camera shops in the area to see if they could repair my camera. We travelled on a moped which was quite fun. We didn't manage to find ...
Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia alastair6... folk are of the nicest and most helpful I've found. They say Thailand is the land of smiles, but this place comes in very close. The following day we book Bellongg of Bellongg Independent Tours (bellongg@yahoo.com) for his man and a van day run to Prambanam with a side trip to the silver street of Kota Gede. As per everything we wish we had met this guy a long time before! He was great. A little one man company he is trying to expand, he ...
Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia danstravelworld... just for safety sake. i mean there were many times when the wind would shift (it was usually blowing in one certain direction keeping the steam away from us thankfully) and we would be submerged in sulphur fumes. the smell of rotten eggs in our noses and the burning in the back of our throats and in our lungs. all this being said, it was just amazing to be right there on the edge...looking down into the cracks as the steam bellowed out and if you walked away ...
Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia nealinthailand... assets. Its people are varied with different languages, cultures and beliefs. The biodiversity in the country is possibly the finest in the world. Yet, despite the improved governance, and hindered by its large and growing population, I feel there will always be mass suffering in this country just as there is in my motherland of India. Leaving Asia As I made my way to Yogya's airport, I was consumed with ...
Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia chiapoe... andato in avanscoperta ad ammirare i due principali motivi per cui mi sono fermato a Yogyakarta: Borobudur e Prambanan, rispettivamente i maggiori templi buddhisti e induisti dell'Indonesia, che si trovano a pochi chilometri dalla citta'. Dopo Giappone, Cina, Laos e compagnia, io ho sviluppato una certa intolleranza per i templi, non perche' non mi piacciano, ma perche' credo di averne visti troppi. E dopo Angkor, ci sono poche cose di questo tipo al mondo ...
Yogyakarta, Java, Indonesia planetvale... the cutest little mammal ever seen, with big eyes, stripped fur and long sensitive fingers. The Mademoiselles were delighted and the proprietor brought over some fruit so we could feed our little teapot charmer. Being pedantic (what, me?), I subsequently discovered that there are no sloths in Indonesia - not furry mammals anyway! After a bit of googling I can confidently assert that our cute companion was a Loris - whether slow or slender I cannot say as all the ...
