Me and My Students Trip to Yogyakarta

Last holiday my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Morison Hotel which is not a long way from Malioboro. On Friday, we went to the sanctuaries in Prambanan.

There are three significant sanctuaries, the Brahmana, Siwa, and Wisnu. They are truly stunning. We went by just Brahmana and Syiwa sanctuaries, on the grounds that Wisnu sanctuary is being remodeled. On Saturday morning we went to Yogya Kraton.

We spent around two hours there. We were fortunate on the grounds that a brilliant and amicable aide drove us. At that point, we proceeded with our adventure to Borobudur. We touched base there at four p.m. At 6 p.m. we heard the declaration that the Borobudur entryway would be closed. In the evening we left Yogyakarta by bus.
