After spending three days in Yogjakarta I'm in Surabaya. Once again I'm down visiting Hindu and Buddhist temples, this time in Indonesia. I visited the temple of Borobudur and the whole Prambanan temples. Both date from the ninth to eighth century. The first seconds are Hindu and Buddhist. Borobudur is simply spectacular, say with Bagan and Angkor are the most spectacular of Southeast Asia (I in Bagan I have not gone!! shit I have with the government). The detail of the cut stone is exquisite, with much history of Buddha (of course) and have good views of the volcano Merapi and volcanoes side. The group of temples of Prambanan was seriously hit by the earthquake of 2006 but it's really awesome. The Tower of Candi Shiva Mahadev (47 meters) impressive than all the skyscrapers of Manhattan, next to this tower col.losal can see the towers of Brahma and Vishnu also has a very refined taste. The rest of the group of temples is pretty hit by earthquake but the place has a special charm because you can see deer and sheep herder around the temples.
next day I was eager to go see the volcano Merapi (one of the most active volcanoes in the world). To go near the volcano better to go with a guide as I tried without first and ended up in a village an hour and a half walk from the park entrance. Once seen it was lost again to reach the starting point (after 3 hours caminadeta) I took a guide who took me as close as possible to the volcano. Voices came to where the river of lava and all it took and the sudden desire to see him much closer. The third day I also been visiting the city of Yogjakarta, I went to the palace and the Sultan: shit! What more egocentric palace, the sultan's everything and nothing else. The palace itself has little architectural appeal. The area around the palace if they are good and are worth a stroll. Around 4 pm I caught a train that we bring to search and Surabaya hotel!! Now I am outside the hall with a wedding that will give me the sack until one night, I'll give a look but I had seen quite aborrida comb!
