Yogyakarta

Majestic volcanoes rising above the clouds on approaching Yogjarkarta, leaving me in awe of this land.

I had always resist holidays to Indonesia. The bad press in the Western media about Indonesia isn't helping the country's tourism industry.

So I had a pleasant surprise during my recent trip there. Friendly people, great food, beautiful country, fabulous shopping...


Mount Merapi, as seen from a viewpoint at a mountain pass. Looking at the ash and smoke puking from its crater, it really gives people reason to be fearful of it. Yet it's also awfully beautiful.




Borobudur...another wonder of Yogyakarta.
