Purwokewrto to Jogja was a fairly short hop of a train ride, passing though a few smaller stations without stopping.  Please take note of the train passenger's teddy bear below, just like my brother's.  Wasn't it, Steve?

Jogjakarta, often the old spelling Yogyakarta, pronounced Joke-ja-karta, or simply Joke-ja, is similar to Jakarta, with everything imaginable for some, and nothing for many, as you might expect.  We stayed a few days only to refresh ourselves.  We did not see the must-see Borobudur, but will on another trip back to Jogja.  Our Hotel was very nice, Hotel Santika; I'll spare you the pix, they're on the web elsewhere.  Lavishly appointed, we might say, with a live gamelon band in the lobby.  Look, we don't stay in hotels like that all the time, we can't afford it.  I dare you to try and find the Hotel Indah in Madiun, Jl. Kalimantan, and find the price.  It's 20/night with breakfast.  So there.


Jogja, nothing for many, but better than Jakarta
