Waiting at the airport for our flight to
Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Barbara is looking pretty content
Must be the free leg massages
Our hotel view from the balcony
The pool and courtyard
Hockey viewing area/bedroom. It was the cup finals while we were there
Balcony
And the rest
Just after we arrived, come on I had to make sure the connection worked. There was a game first thing the next morning
The door we wish we could have for our place in Vancouver
And of course your basic huge fake sunflower by the railroad tracks
Alleyway next to
our first major discovery, Lucifer's, a fine place to grab a drink. There weren't a lot of these around since it is a very Muslim area
The local 3 wheeled chariot of death.
I like the name of this guys
tri-
shaw. He wasn't jogging anywhere
I just thought it was cool
The next morning, anxiously waiting for the puck to drop
Breakfast arrived about 5 minutes into the first. A very good morning it was, we won
The biggest thing to stick out to me in
Yogyakarta was the onslaught of graffiti
It was everywhere
Of course we had to take a carriage ride
On the road
Cruisin' old school
Again with the graffiti
The water Palace
Pretty swank place
I think we look pretty good here
Even here there is graffiti. No respect
Another pool, i think this one is for the Sultans wife, or wives
This dude is barefoot, no thanks
Playoff beard in full effect
The Sultans seal at the Sultans Palace
Music room
Sultans Quarters
The circumcision area, Yeah that's right, this is where they do circumcisions a couple of times a year, and you have to be at least 5 years old and no anesthetic. No Thank You.
Some sort of cerimonial noise maker, probably to drown out the screams of the kids getting cut
Cerimonial drum
The box where they keep the tools and instruments for cerimonial activities
The current Sultan
His wife. Apparently he only has one but you are allowed up to 5, unless you decide to drink alcohol, then you are allowed only one. I'll take the one wife and a bottle of Jack please
The Sultans carriage
And his wifes, much smaller of course, bothe carried by a herd of "Servants"
Nice door
Demon mask that keeps the evil spirits out of the Sultans Palace
And the lock for the front door. Its a big front door
I think he thinks he blends in, or he's envious
Shoe art, I love it
Bikes
We were headed Borobrodur the next morning and Barbara is hoping that this is our ride
Sunrise with the Buddah and a volcano
A very cool place
Buddahs everywhere. This is the largest buddist temple in the world, right in the middle of the largest muslum population in the world
Pretty spectacular
Buddah sentinals
Very special place
Headed to the volcano.
More graffitti. This area was completely devistated by the eruption last year
Still smokin'
Prambanan Hindu Temple
Shes seen enough, there were hords of people there and they all wanted to stop and have their picture taken with us.This is where I got my two new monikers, Triple H and Chuck Norris, I'll take Chuck Norris
Bakso, local speciality
Your basic street noodle soup with mystery meats
Tucking in
And back to Lucifers
For a little antibiotic, just to be safe
More
and more
Graffiti. Some good
Some bad
The local garbage truck
Some of the graffiti makes perfect sense
More street food
Barbara takin a break
Our last bottle of wine in Yogyakarta
Some appy's
The get the camera out of my face look
And the here comes our food look
Lamb curry for me
Steak Frites for Barbara
And we are out of there, flying over the tops of volcanos. A great trip.
