      Yogyakarta

      February 16, 2023 in Indonesia

      8 a.m. - I woke up quite early and got some breakfast. Robyn was still sleeping because she went out the night before.

      9:30 a.m. - I rented a scooter and got ready to go east of Yogyakarta to explore the area and the recommendations from Laura.

      10 a.m. - We arrived at the huge temple Prambanan. The tickets for Prambanan and Borobudur were still very expensive after the student discount. Although we were there quite early there were already a lot of school classes and we had to make again a lot of photos. While walking around in Prambanan we met Jakob a german guy and connected with him. Prambanan was very busy but there are more a bit smaller temple’s when you walk further and there is nobody. The architecture is very impressive if you think about when they build it.

      1 p.m. - After we saw all temple’s we went for lunch to one of the restaurants Laura recommended and met there up with Brian another guy from our hostel. He met up with a local guy from Couchsurfing. Afterwards we went to another restaurant near by where we got some coffee. The restaurant was fancy and expensive but the have a beautiful infinity pool with a great view on Prambanan. Brian is a photographer and he is carrying around always his equipment so he asked if he can take a shot in the pool but unfortunately the pool wasn’t there for swimming. Anyways this American guy didn’t gave a fuck and was in the pool as soon as nobody looked.

      4 p.m. - Afterwards the local guy showed us some places and we drove some crazy roads. A lot of the sights there a very expensive so we decided to go to another on which was free. I still don’t know exactly what it was but there were again loads of school classes and I had to take a huge amount of photos with a big girl group. I took so many individual pictures with posing. Now I know how a celebrity feels like and I also know that I don’t want to be famous because it gets annoying and exhausting. Afterwards they told me that I look like a celebrity how is famous there and that was the reason. The nice thing about the spot were to amazing owls there. They even sat on my shoulders. On the way to the accommodation we got into heavy rain and were wet when we arrived.

      6:30 p.m. - We got some dinner all together and had a chill evening.
