THIS ONE IS FOR YOU DEE! THE PARTY'S OVER

The guys picked us up at 0500 and drove us to Borodudur, a 9th century Buddhist temple, the largest in the world. After visiting the compound we had breakfast and tried some yummy Indonesian fare.

Each of the stupas has a Buddha in them. They have taken the top off of two of them.
Can you see the bee on top of his head?

There was a black bee sitting on top of each of the exposed stupa Buddhas

Stupy & me

Masses of students showed up shortly after we arrived

Once again, they love to have their picture taken with the white guy!

Buddhas everywhere

The little ones are so leery of the weird looking white people.

Mendut, a smaller Buddhist temple, was next.

BIG Banyon tree. They are considered holy.

The final stop was Candi Prambanan, a 9th century Hindu temple.

They have rebuilt these temples from the rubble resulting from years of earthquakes and volcanoes.

Each of the temples contained a Hindu idol, but many are missing

Mosque across the street

Nope, not gonna give the weird looking white guy the time of day!

We returned to the room at 1400 and ate lunch at McDonalds. Jim wandered the city while I came back to the room to work on the blog. Sam will pick us up at 0400 in the morning so we can catch our 0600 flight to Singapore.
