Yogyakarta city - Borobodur temple, Prambanan temple

---

I'm in city of Yogyakarta. Tourism is flourishing here, because of the buddhist temple Borobodur, and hinduist temple Prambanan in their vicinity. Both as Unesco heritage.

I made both of them today, with a tour. Beautiful places, just bit overcrowded. Thousands of tourists, and Indonesians mainly. Therefore for may of the visitors I was a bigger attraction than the temples themselves.
Countless of people have asked me to take photo with them. One girl told me that many of them are from villages, so they probably have never seen a foreigner in their life. Or if they saw, not as tall one as I'm 😊 Few times I asked them to take the pictures also with my camera. So some of them in the photogallery section.

Day trip
Your photos are beautiful. :) I'm planning a trip there myself in February. I only have less than a day total to see both places (Borobodur and Prambanan), is that possible? How far apart are they from each other? I would appreciate any tips/suggestions you can give me. Thanks so much in advance! :)
