Jogya - Day 3 - very Interesting day...

Staying at this kind of resort where they make us feel like leaving in a village/country-side has a good side (well, only for those of you who likes animals).

We could see up close and personal with grasshopper, cockroach, frog, ants, birds, butterflies, flies, lizards, etc in our own backyard. We could even hear their sounds at night. Oma said this feels like a Zoo!!! ^_^

Caden had a very interesting day today. Opa caught him a grasshopper and a frog and put them in a glass for a few hours and Caden could see them more clearly at a shorter distance.

Here is where Ii Valerie was trying to give Caden a massage after a very hot humid day! (but failed!!).

And Caden was so obsessed with the umbrellas! He would play with it everyday and would asked us to use it while carrying him at the same time (urgghh...he is heavy!), even when it's not raining.

This was another interesting encountered to stay here! We got to ride an elephant (a big one, virgin female, 30 years of age) and got to see the view of the Candi Borobudur (Borobudur Temple) from afar.

What a beautiful view indeed...

By the way, riding an elephant is quite a scary experience. It moves so much that we felt that we could fall anytime, and they eat A LOT! They have to go in twos or they won't move and they also have to eat as they go along or else they will stop moving.

They moved very slow, especially since they have to eat every 10 steps or so. It took us almost half an hour to get to a place that can be reached by a car in 5 minutes. And it was SOOO HOTT!!!
