✈️ Day 2: Borobudur + Prambanan Temple Adventure

📍 Yogyakarta Airport Landed on Sept 28—small but charming airport! 🚘 Transport Private car booked via Ctrip (slightly pricier than Traveloka but hassle-free). Cost: ~$10-15/day (online payment). 🛕 1. Borobudur Temple 🎟️ Ticket: 450K IDR/pax (pre-booked via agency + 5K service fee). ⚠️ Daily visitor limit | Closed Mondays. 🕒 1.5hr drive from airport → Show QR code → Get free guide, water & sandals (must wear inside!). 📸 Photo ops everywhere—listen to history, then snap away! 😆 🐎 Fun exit: Took a horse carriage (100K IDR) back to parking—horses here look much healthier than Jakarta’s! 🌄 2. Prambanan Temple (Rushed Edition!) ⏰ Arrived at 4:30 PM (closes at 5:30 PM—super tight!). 🎟️ Ticket: 400K IDR/pax (cash only) + 200K IDR for electric cart. 🛕 Temple Rundown: 1️⃣ Main Temple: Biggest but only for distant photos (no climbing stairs/entering). 2️⃣ Temples 2 & 3: Tiny—skipped due to time. 3️⃣ Sewu Temple (BEST!) – "Temple Run" vibes! Could enter & explore (but only got 10 mins to shoot 😭). 😤 Regrets: Wrong order: Cart driver zoomed to Sewu first (deep inside), leaving no time for main temple. Wedding sighting: Saw a lawn wedding—so random! 💒 💡 Tips for Next Time: ✅ Start EARLIER (Prambanan needs 2+ hours). ✅ Skip the cart—walk to Sewu first, then main temple. #IndonesiaTravel #Borobudur #Prambanan #TempleRun #TravelFails #YogyakartaDiaries
