Borobudur/ Prambanan

Borobudur overlooking the surrounding mountains

After exploring Yogyakarta City mostly on foot, we had an equally packed itinerary the next day going out to see the ancient temples of Borobudur, Prambanan and drive up the active Mt Merapi.  Thankfully, we had booked a private car to bring us around for the day so it was relatively more relaxing.
