Indonesia 2016: Yogyakarta and Borobudur
INDONESIA - DAY 4 to 5 Yogyakarta and Borobudur
Moreover, on Instagram, you can find my Travel Diary day by day of my trip with all the fun and interesting details, alongside with some nice photos ;)
???? INSTAGRAM:
???????? DAY 4: In Yogyakarta, we book a peaceful hostel with swimming pool for 6 euros. After a nap, in the afternoon we visit the city. It's the old capital of Indonesia and it's still governed by a sultan which was crucial in the fight for the independence of the country, using his royal palace to fight the Dutch. That's also why it gained independence. We discover a very cultural and historical city where Hinduism mix with Islamism in some temples. The old town is a maze of little streets and small houses. At night we get back to the hostel and we end our night in the company of two cool Dutch guys, playing cards, drinking some beers and sharing our musical taste...
???????? DAY 5: The plan was to wake up at 4.30 to see the sunrise from the top of Borobudur temple. However, my subconscious decided that it was a safer option to put the alarm at 16.30 instead. With some delay, we leave our hostel with a scooter that we rented ????. The drive will become the best part of the day, corner after corner, this winding road will guide us into the tropical nature of Indonesia: rice fields, palm trees, green mountains, and picturesque rivers. The temple disappointed us because we felt too much in a touristic attraction since it's surrounded by a park offering all the services that you would expect in an amusement park. There was even an archery field… Anyway, seeing the biggest Buddhist temple in the world helped us to clear our consciousness regarding cultural activities. On the way back I also drive for the first time in the Indonesia rush hour madness. The problems it's not they don't have rules, it's just that they have their own????. It's just a matter of understanding them. We end the day drinking beers in the hostel with the two Dutch guys with whom we will take the night train from Yogyakarta to Malang from where we will head to the Mount Bromo National Park ????

Borobudur sunrise, Prambanan Temple and travel in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Sunrise at Borobudur, a few adventures in Yogyakarta, followed by an afternoon exploring Prambanan Temple in Indonesia.
What an amazing way to spend a few days in Yogyakarta, Indonesia!
❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊
Sunrise at Borobudur is definitely worth setting your alarm for. Borobudur is the world’s largest Buddhist temple, and Indonesia’s most visited tourist attraction. Located on the island of Java, the temple was constructed in the 9th century, before being abandoned in the 14th century as the population converted to Islam. Protected by UNESCO, it was restored in the 1970s and later opened to the public (while still being used for religious pilgrimage).
Sunrise is an incredible time to visit. We watched as the colour of the sky changed from a rich shade of blue to purple, to pink, to orange, and then settled on a luxurious shade of gold. Sun spheres peeked through from behind the buddhas and began to illuminate details on the stone. I’d definitely recommend visiting at sunrise.
Yogyakarta is a bustling city. I really enjoyed checking out the markets which were full of beautiful flowers and exotic fruits. I also tracked down some colourful houses – so photogenic!
Prambanan Temple is a 9th Century Hindu temple located around 17km from Yogyakarta. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia. The architecture is incredible and, like Borobudur, it’s another temple that’s very well preserved.
If you base yourself in Yogyakarta, each of these temples is within easy reach. They’re very special, but in different ways, so be sure to make time to see them both.

20 Things to do in Yogyakarta & Central Java Travel Guide (Solo, Semarang) for Foodies in Indonesia Travel Food Lovers Video Transcript:
Hey guys! We're in Indonesia for a week. Yeah, so this is our second time back in Indonesia and this week we're going to be exploring Yogyakarta and Central Java and this video is going to show you some of the top attractions in the region. Can't wait to show you around. Let's go!
For our very first stop in Central Java, we headed to the biggest Buddhist monument in the world and the most popular attraction in the region: Borobudur.
So we are ready for another adventure. Tell us! Yeah, we're heading up to Mount Merapi and there is basically two different ways you can do it. You can hike up but we're going with a jeep. Yeah, it'll be fun. Hop on in.
After a few days in Jogja, we hopped on a train and headed towards Solo, also known as Surakarta. The ride was a little over an hour, and not only was it an inexpensive way to travel, but it was also incredibly scenic. We zoomed past villages and rice fields, and before we knew it, we had arrived.
So right now we're inside Pasar Triwindu which is an antiques market here in Solo and we are seeing some real gems.
So I went shopping for my Batik and I found one I really like. It cost about 30 US dollars and I can't wait to start wearing it. I think the first time I'll try it on is for dinner soon.
So we're starting off with coconut milk pancakes which are called Serabi.
Our next stop in Solo was the Mangkunegaran Palace, which dates back to 1757. Part of the royal family still lives here, so you can’t wander around.
Another way to experience Solo is by doing a tour on a pedibike, also known as a becak.
This trip was all about going in search of food, culture and a little bit of adventure. Over the course of the week we visited ancient temples, browsed through antique markets, ate our fair share of street food, and tackled a rather infamous volcano. In this video we are going to show you 20 things to do in Yogyakarta and Central Java, so let’s get started.
And that’s a wrap for our whirlwind trip to Indonesia. We hope you enjoyed getting a closer look at what Yogyakarta and Central Java have to offer. As always, if you have any other suggestions of things to do and places to visit, feel free to let us know in the comments below. Happy travels!
This is part of our Travel in Indonesia video series showcasing Indonesian food, Indonesian culture and Indonesian cuisine.

Yogyakarta, Indonesia: Jogjakarta, Borobudur, and the Last of Indonesia
In my last episode from Indonesia, I made my way to the city of Yogyakarta, or as the locals calls it, Jogjakarta, Indonesia. I have to be honest, I've been pretty disappointing with travel so far on Java Island. Though there is a lot of potential, there are also loads of scams and scammers. Yogyakarta was different though. I thoroughly enjoyed the historical city and would gladly go back to spend some more time. During our stay in Yogyakarta we also went out to visit the world famous Borobudur Temple just an hour away. Though Borobudur is impressive, it is extremely overpriced, and borders on being theft. It costs about $25 for tourists to enter the site, and $35 more if they want to stay to watch the sun set. It really is crazy.
Anyways, as mentioned this is the last video from Indonesia (on this trip anyways) stay tuned for episode from further afield.

Inside Yogyakarta – Indonesia's Student City
This video depicting the daily life of an Australian student studying in Yogyakarta, was a successful collaboration between several CAUSINDY 2017 alumni. After initiating the idea through the CAUSINDY Review while together in Melbourne, Team 'Siswa Stories' was awarded a CAUSINDY Alumni Grant to shoot and produce this footage in Indonesia.
The CAUSINDY Alumni Grants program provides seed funding to new initiatives seeking to develop the Australia – Indonesia relations!
Well done Sylvia Laksmi, Drew Ambrose, Max Walden, and Nini Purwajati!
INDONESIA VLOG #5 | Food, Dancing, Malioboro and Waterpalace YOGYAKARTA (JOGJA)
In this vlog, me and my mom have travelled to Yogyakarta! Before our trainride we had some streetfoud named Lotek and it was so delicious! We lost some of the film where we taste the food, but I can assure you that it was one of the best dishes I have ever tasted, and it only cost 10.000 rupiah (0,66 eurocents)! After the food we travelled to Yogyakarta with the train and it was the most beautiful view, but we travelled late in the afternoon and in the evening, so we could not really enjoy this view.
The first day in Jogja we visited a Batik fabric, where they make the traditional clothes of Indonesia. After seeing how this traditional clothing was made, we got some food and walked the streets of Jogja. We met an amazing artist, who gave us a little tour around the Water Palace and took us to his families studio. They all make beautiful paintings and he explained how Indonesian weddings are being held, which I will post in another video!
In the evening we went to 'The Paris of Java', one of the busiest streets in Jogja: Malioboro. The atmosphere around this place is really good and we met some truely wonderful people there.
I hope you enjoy seeing a little of Jogja! There will be more in the upcoming vlogs!
-------------
Me and my mom have been travelling throughout Indonesia for three weeks! In this and the upcoming vlogs you can follow our trip from Jakarta to Bandung, Yogyakarta, Ubud, Seminyak and Nusa Dua, so make sure you follow us for more fun!
For booking the train tickets we have used the following website:
the cost of the trainticket was only 16 euro per person.
or you can buy your trainticket at the trainstation, but then you have the chance that there is no place, so I would recommend booking beforehand.
We have booked all of the hotels at Booking.com, so if you want to book hotels in Indonesia or elsewhere, you can use this code to get 10% back from your next trip:

Travelogue: 3 Days in Yogyakarta Indonesia. Kopi Joss, Borobudur and more!!!
After our Jakarta Trip with AirAsia Filipino, me and my friend Lee (@ilovepaars) thought of exploring Yogyakarta first before heading back to the Philippines.
I heard a lot about this city and at first I was expecting a very hipster town with their artsy cafe's (and actually artisan everything) but for the 3 days that we spent exploring around, we experienced more about its culture and history rather than its crafted coffee (well, with the exemption of the famous kopi joss) .
It is one of my longest vlog (yet) as I thought of putting everything in it and not divide it into parts. Let me know what you think about it.
Thank you very much to those who made this trip possible:
AirAsia Filipino - for bringing us to Indonesia
The 101 Yogyakarta Togu (Hotel) - Our hotel during our stay in Yogyakarta
Discover Your Indonesia - For arranging our transport and also booking our batik making class
