    Borobudur 🛕

    August 24, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We had to get up eeeeeearly. 3am to go for the sunrise Borobudur tour. I was still all sticky from the chinese medicine i had to put on burns but it fixed then quite well. Too early 😂
    They drove us for an hour to some hill to wait for sunrise. Beautiful! Morning mist, butterflies and birds waking up, just lovely. And you could see volcanoes in the distance!
    Next we went to Borobudur. This is the largest buddhist temple apparently. This is huge! Sadly due to covid and being on Unesco list you cannot climb to the top anymore. Boo. But still, it's majestic! 🤯 Fun fact: this used to be to black stones but because some Dutch colonialist genius couldn't take a picture of it - they painted it yellow. Like a submarine 😂
    Maybe due to early waking up and also me being burned from sun a bit I got really weak somehow. Just couldn't stay awake. So when we got back we asked next airbnb if we can arrive early and they said ok. Yay.
    We're in this beautiful house outside of Yogyakarta, with a view over the fields, banana trees, papayas, all kinds of animals around. This is relaxation! My Lili ❤️ is enjoying this soooo very much! And I finally feel better after getting some extra nap. Aaaand used Gojek to order some pizza delivery, junk food always helps 😊
