We flew from Singapore to Yogjakarta today. The sights and sounds of Asia are a lot more
intense in Indonesia than in Singapore.
The people are poorer, the goods are cheaper and the barganing is necessary.
We changed plans at
the last minute and we are ensconced in a luxury hotel at the gates of
Borobudur. The taxi driver taking us
into Yogyakarta made us a great offer so we pulled a u-turn and headed for
Borobudur instead of the city. We are
in a small town, where supper cost $1.50 and everybody drives a motorscooter. We wandered the town to eat and watch the
families of 4 ride by on their bikes.
We have seen the temple from a distance and it looks
enormous. We will be up early tomorrow
to check it out.
