Java Journeys – Day 2: Borobudur and Prambanan
The sun rose over a cloudy landscape in the morning. While I could faintly make out the contours of Borobudur from my hotel, the iconic Merapi Volcano was hidden from sight, and would stay that way despite ever-bluer skies. I checked out at eight o’clock and was promptly picked up by my driver for the day: I had ordered a tour online for visiting the Borobudur and Prambanan temples a few days earlier. While the tour was advertised as being without a tour-guide, Didik proved savvy, helpful, and very good at English.
