After raving about Air Asia yesterday we suffered a small setback today – taxied down the runway only to stop suddenly and turn back due to “technical difficulties” which we were advised would take around 10 minutes to resolve. After the allotted 10 minutes, the captain advised that we had to disembark and change planes so we actually took off over an hour and a half late!!

At Yogyakarta Airport Keith found a taxi driver to take us to Borobudur.  We drove past lots of small roadside stalls and businesses on the way to Borobudur. As we got closer, the stalls gave way to lush green rice paddies and fields

We were really pleased with our hotel as it looked just like the pictures on the internet. It was a small hotel with only sixteen rooms – individual villas set in a series of lush green gardens. These were connected to the open plan restaurant and a pavilion (which served as a kind of communal lounge) by a stone pathway lined with green shrubs, bowls of water with flowers and incense burners.
