On Wednesday, my students and I went to
Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is
not far from Malioboro.
On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan.
There are three big temples, the Brahmana, Syiwa
and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We
visited only Brahmana and Syiwa temples, because
Wisnu temple is being renovated.
On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We
spent about two hours there. We were lucky
because we were led by a smart and friendly guide.
Then we continued our journey to Borobudur. We
arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the
announcement that Borobudur gate would be
closed.
In the evening we left for Jakarta by wisata bus.
