Final thoughts on Indonesia (2019)
We’ve moved from Indonesia to Thailand, so that means it is time for final thoughts on Indonesia. Although, once again, our final thoughts on Indonesia are limited by the fact that we only stayed in Bali (Nusa Dua and Legian) … Continue reading
Prambanan and nearby temples
Remember how we said we were templed out when we left Siem Reap? Fortunately, its been a few months, as we spent another day in Yogyakarta temple hopping. We booked a private car (and completely overpaid given we only wanted … Continue reading
