More pictures



The swimming pool at our hotel, a lovely place to sit and read, which we did with pleasure!







One of the very bold monkeys resident in the Monkey Sanctuary. There are apparently 3 tribes in the sanctuary, and they are very defensive of their respective territories.







We visited the Elephant Cave, a Balinese place of worship dating from the 11th century. There were temple ruins here as well.




These ornate pillars were on the grounds of a traditional Hindu family compound. Within the compound were multiple buildings of single function, either kitchen or bed room, etc., and a large area dedicated to shrines.







A view of the temple at Borobodur. A photo cannot do justice to the size of the temple or the intricacy of the stone carving. Unfortunately, over the years the temple has been vandalized and many of the statues are missing head or arms.
