We had lunch here before travelling to Yogyakarta.





Bengawan Solo

This is the longest river in Java. It is also the name of a famous Indonesian folk song.







Keraton Surakarta

Surakarta Sunanate is a Javanese monachy of Central Java. While Yogyakarta rulers are called Sultans, the rulers of Surakarta are called Sunans.







The present Sunan








We visited this palace as there is no other place to go. There is not much to see here, so dont bother coming.

Lunch at Courtfield

This traditional British pub is just opposite the Earl's Court Station, near our hotel.









Bangers and Mash







Roast Beef with Yorkshire pudding



Eating is my best exercise!


London is best seen by foot

We took the tube (and sometimes buses) and walked to all our sites.



We walked



And walked



And kept walking



And carried on walking



And continued to walk



And were still walking!
