Indonesia

Summary: endless rice terraces, school groups going bananas about western people, touts (Transport!Transport..praaaah..) and volcanoes. Beautiful though for most part not very relaxing.

We started on the south coast of Bali and continued to Ubud, in the inland of Bali:


Morning walk around Ubud:



We continued on to Java and got to know to unhurried indonesian trains, one of which almost made us miss our flight out of Jakarta (we still had 15 minutes left in the end, though).




We were planning to climb the Bromo volcanoe, but it was spitting too much smoke out so it was closed and Saku got to feel how it really is traveling in Asia and got sick. And it was a bad weather. So we took the hint and continued to Yogyakarta, some kind of culture capital of Java.

Morning mist at Borobudur, a buddhist temple near Yogyakarta:


Borobudur, could not climb up cause the nearby Merapi had erupted a couple of months ago and covered it in ash. You get the point, we were not too lucky with volcanoes this time. (I'm wrong to complaing, though, we are a lot luckier than the 300 people who got killed when Merapi erupted).
