Hi Guys,

Must do
Borobudur Sunrise

Most probably stay at city (Malioboro area)
Rent a car and do day trips.

Any suggestions?

On the way from Jogja can drop by and buy bengawan solo kek too! fabulous! from a shop called Mandarijn. think it's very famous there.

n the while visiting Candi Sukuh & Cheto, can go makan at Pring Kuning! newly opened last Nov i think. Fantastic ayam penyet n beef served!

I dont think that I am going to take public transport to Borobudur there. Do anyone got driver to recommend for taking 6 people for this whole trip ?

On 1st day when arrive on 25th , plan straight away to Borobudur and stay 1 night at that area. How much taxi charges for 6 person to there ?

ON 26TH, TRAVEL TO Solo and stay 1 night at there. From Borobudur to Solo , take how many hours ? Is it adviseable to stay at Solo ?
From Solo, back to Yogyakarta ?? How many hours ?

On 27 - 30, stay at Yogyakarta.

We are travelling in 6 people.

maybe u can pm me your email address~
i sent u some of the drivers i deal before~
u can contact them and ask for pricing~

From Solo to Jogja maybe around 3 hour plus~
if from Borobudur to Solo should be longer than that~

We rode on a Kijang (rented car with driver) to Mount Merapi.
It's not comfortable, very bumpy.

Stayed at All Season, very close to Malioboro.

Woah bro, thats a very nice place u stay~
Nice and modern~

Do share more info and pics from your trips~
Missing Jogja~

That was All Season, within walking distant to Malioboro. We stayed for 2 nights then moved away as we 1) didn't like Malioboro Shopping Street 2) finished Taman Sari and the surrounding area, and they started some renovation, a bit noisy.
All Season had a Sky Bar with live band, can go for a drink, but the food is not good. Lots of locals hang out here.


Malioboro, very congested along the walkway.


Part of Prambanan. A very nice back drop for photo shot.


Prambanan

How's Merapi now? This time last year it was LIKE THIS.

Oh Taman Sari still renovating~
The last time i went there also the same~

I stay here too last month for 3 nights.. this is the sky bar

It's much better now. More life. Grass has grown. People had came back to settle. There are 3 private tolls, the local collect a fee to let vehicle to pass through. Lots of make shift sheds, toilets and stall. There are motorcycle, motocross or Jeep tours too.

Added on February 29, 2012, 7:37 pmSorry, phased wrongly, it's All Season that is doing renovation. Taman Sari, is worn down. They are applying for UNESCO, and the owner (the Sultan) wants to evict all the house there and turn it to a "hotel" or Homestay.

The volcano will erupt again, and the cycle goes on ...

Wow, that bad huh. Thank goodness we don't have volcanoes. I guess we Malaysian are the luckiest lot. Thank all our different gods for this.
