Jogjakarta & Jakarta, Indonesia
December 6 - 13, 2008
The Sultan Palaces had an underground tunnel that led to a prayer area for Muslims. The ruins of the Sultan's Palace exist side by side with everyday life -- you can see ordinary houses erected using the old palace as walls. Nearby is the old swimming area for the Sultan and his concubines -- Taman Sari. Around the area are also some art shops. Yogyakarta seems to have a vibrant art vibe -- even the graffiti around the city impresses!
For dinner, we ate at Cafe Via Via (Jalan Prawirotaman 30, Yogyakarta), a cafe that caters to the western budget traveller. Jalan Prawirotaman is filled with several hostels and guest houses -- a good place to start looking for budget accommodation in Yogyakarta.
