Day 7 - Jogja - Prambanan

If Buddhist has Borobudur then Hindu has Prambanan, a 9th century temple. The temple is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia and one of the largest Hindu temple in south-east Asia. After filling up our bellies with some yummy lunch surrounded by nature, we head up to Prambanan.

entrance to Prambanan. It was so hot and humid that day, I really wished I could jump in.

on the back of the temple, we found this. My sister said (after talking to a tour guide), these are the workers who are working to restore the temple from the recent Merapi eruption.
