Shopping and Eating

 
Day 11 - Shopping and Eating

Finanda and Rizcky

This was not a very active day. After breakfast we went an open market. We didn’t go through the stall but just into one shop. We bought some souvenirs and so did Finanda and Rizcky. Their souvenirs were to be thank you gifts for those who gave to them at their wedding. We then went downstairs to look at some batik. We spent quite a bit of time looking at fabric and while Bonnie was doing that I looked at some batik shirts. Well it turns out that Bonnie bought some 30 + meters of fabric and I bought one silk Indonesian shirt. My shirt was about half of the cost of her fabric. I’m sure many of you will get a chance to see the fabric once we get back to the States. We both had a good time here. I was very encouraging of Bonnie’s purchases and told her the next stop would be the wood store. Stopping at the wood store did not happen.

Once we finished at the market we were off to Borobudur. We thought we were going to stay at another home stay place, that’s what Rizcky said. Turns out we are staying the night at the Manohara Resort. This was a very nice place. It is a little old as hotels go but the rooms were well appointed. There was a sitting area right outside the room. The bed was comfortable. The hot water plentiful. Everything was fine even it it was a little old and dated. The wifi worked great as well.
