    Wandering around Yogyakarta

    August 27, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Time to go back to Yogyakarta and evening train to Malang. We took a quick morning walk around rice fields in front of our house, scratch the cats and called taxi. Time to go 😕 Or better yet - continue 💪
    In Yogyakarta it was my lady's day. So first my Lili ❤️ picked some traditional local food made of jackfruit. It's a specialty here and it's pretty good! We sat, ate, watched tiny granmas 😊
    We wanted to go see the palace but of course it was closed today. Meh. So we went to some bath place of the Sultan (yup, they have Sultan in Yogyakarta). While walking there some grandpa joined us and start guiding us. He was funny 😊 And check this - half way there he got us to a place where they produce and sell kopi luwak! And they had an actual luwak there, so cute! Of course we tried the coffee and bought some 😃 Lili was "meh medium" but I like it, it's strong.
    Soon we arrived to bath place. It's pretty awesome, big pool and all, they also have old streets and underground mosque, which, sadly, was closed due to covid. And sooo many birds in cages singing everywhere (also the damn shitting pigeons e-ve-rywhere!).
    It's really nice waking around here, cool art and grafiti all around the city, tiny streets, feels like it's not a 3mio city at all. Lili was guiding us to this art/book store for tea and chill time 😊
    We ended up the day with nice dinner (Bitterballen of course haha) and a proper massage for my lady ❤️ (and note from Lili: Marko took me to a VEGAN! place. Wow people, that's love haha). (Hi, Marko here again. Salad called "burger" was lekker 😋🤣).
    Now we're sitting on the train to Malang, we're arriving there at 3am. Yikes. But we're seeing some really cool waterfall tomorrow! Can't wait! 😃
