Sumur Bawah Tanah (Sunken Well)
23. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
To get to this underground mosque we walked down a narrow set of stairs to a gated building. Through the gate we walked down some ramps to get to an amazing area of 2 different circular tunnels built round a staircase in the middle. Apparently the 'choir' of the mosque would stand on the stairs with good acoustics to reach the Imam above and the people below.

Some girls were chatting up, oops I mean practicing their Indonesian, with the young man seen in the photos below.Les mer

Another smorgasbord of amazing food...
Reisende Your food photos look lip-smackingly delicious. A pie and chips will never be good enough again.

A Visit to the Sultan's Graves
24. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
This sounds like a fairly simple activity until we find that they bury the Sultans in the mountains so it means first about an hours drive. Then a climb of over 400 steps upwards. Then we needed to change into Javanese style dress before we could go with our guide to visit the graves. More steps to get to the grave (not easy in our ankle length tight Javanese dresses!) of the 1st Sultan. Here we entered a small hut built around the grave and were invited to kneel next to the grave and take 7 breaths over a crack in the rocks to smell the fragrance from the grave! This is believed to bring good luck.

Then we visited the 9th Sultan's grave.

Erika - It was interesting to learn how the Sultans are buried
Ingrid - the first Sultan is very important and therefore got the top spot in the graveyard
Maeve - the fragrance we could smell near the grave came from the ground
Meg - the 9th Sultan had many children.
Tahnee - the traditional costume was very hard to walk inLes mer

All OK here in Yogyakarta
24. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
We've heard that there was an earthquake near East Timor. That has not affected us at all.

We've had a busy day. Stay tuned for more details when we have collated the photos.

Batik Lesson
24. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
From the graveyard we went to a place nearby to learn about Batik. We sat outside under cover and were shown how to apply hot wax to the cotton material using little pipes. Then we were each given a piece of material to do our own. A pattern had been drawn on the material already for us to follow. Once completed to our batik teacher's satisfaction the the pieces of material were dipped into buckets of dye. We couldn't wait for ours to dry so our guide Rifa has taken them home to dry for us.

Steph - it was interesting to watch the batik teachers doing the waxing step. They were so fast compared to me and didn't get any blobs of wax anywhere.
Ripley - the coloring step was interesting and then we saw some of the lovely materials they make with a lot of detail which take a month to make.Les mer

More Batik pictures, lunch and dinner
24. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
After the Batik lesson we had a well deserved lunch in Kota Gede and then it was back to the motel for a rest and we had dinner in the hotel restaurant where the girls could choose what they would like to eat within a budget. Guess what they had - burgers, pizzas, sandwiches!Les mer

Javanese Dancing Lesson
25. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
We headed off to a place where we would have a lesson on Javanese dancing. The teacher and her helper started with simple movements and then kept adding the next bit for an hour or so. And near the end scarves were added into the dance. The girls did so well concentrating for so long and following along.Les mer

Gamelan Playing
25. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
After the dance lesson we had an hour long lesson of playing the Gamelan instruments. We had a special teacher - a lecturer from a local Music University (there are over 100 universities in Yogya!). The girls picked up what was being asked of them very quickly and got turns at all the different instruments.Les mer

Wayang Kulit Performance
25. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ 🌙 25 °C
Last night we went out to dinner and then to the Wayang Kulit Performance. Wayang Kulit is a very famous and important puppet show where you can either watch the side where the man controlling the puppets sits and uses colorful puppets or you watch from the other side and see a shadow puppet show. Or you can walk back and forth which is what we did.

The puppeteer was supported by 4 ladies singing and a gamelan orchestra but he does the story including singing and uses his foot to crash the cymbals. We saw him wipe the sweat from his face several times so it must be hard work!Les mer

Market Food Shopping
26. juni 2019, Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
We headed off early to the market to buy food for our cooking class. Rifa and her driver took us to a market that has only been open about a year and apparently we were the first westerners to visit because the security made a big fuss of us and insisted on a group photo before we went into the market and we had 2 guards accompany us.

The girls were split into 2 groups and each person had an item they had to bargain for (with a bit of help from the lady who was taking the cooking class and Ibu Turnley, Bu Hinchey and Rifa). Ingredients included vegetables and spices. The girls were amazingly brave and entered into the spirit of market shopping.Les mer
