Tinkling Bells in Java

JAVA – from its seething, traffic choked capital to the calm Buddhist temples of BOROBUDUR is a fascinating island.  The superb museum in JAKARTA is massive, well laid out and simply stuffed with fascinating items from all over Indonesia;  the food is excellent and even the civit cat coffee surprisingly good.

At Borobudur the calm temple with the tinkling bells and incense drifting through the morning mists was a delight; it’s a small site compared with Bagan in Burma and excellent for a short break with the benefit of a superb hotel – luxurious and architecturally breathtaking.

 

Would I do it again:

love to, for more time everywhere!

What did I enjoy the most:  

still mornings with tinkling temple bells

What did I not like:

traffic crawl in Jakarta
