I travelled solo to Yogyakarta (Jogjakarta) from KL. It was a way to spend the Easter weekend. I left on Friday afternoon from KL and arrived in Jogja around 5:00pm local time where I was picked-up by the driver I have arranged through the hotel. From the airport, it was a 1.5 hour drive to Magelang, the guesthouse I chose to be my humble abode for the weekend is very near the famous temple.
Saturday morning I got up for the sun rise tour at 4:00am but because of the weather - rainy season, there was not much to see in the fog. So I left at around 6:30 am to catch a shower and breakfast before my next tour - Dieng Plateau.
I was able to take good shots of Borobudur still especially on the Sunday when I returned (but I did not get up at 4:00 am!). I decided to go a bit later - 6:00am the following day.
The shadows of Borobudur at 4:00am. The fog makes it all have that dreamy feeling.
The sun eventually coming at at 5:30ish am.
Everyone is waiting for it - sun rise.
This was a photo at the west side, with the mountains on the background.

Took a bike from the guesthouse to the temple on Sunday. Cycled through the paddy fields.
The fog in the morning.

Finally - the sun rise shot. I was only able to take this on Sunday. I did not catch it the first time.
It was well worth it.
After the sun rise tour, a breakfast was offered with this view.
