Went to Jepara which is a couple of hours up the coast. Billed as a seaside resort and the centre for furniture making by my trusty tour guide, truns out the seaside and the town wasn't impressive and I wasn't there to buy furniture, but.. saving grace we did find the Ocean View resort a little haven of luxury, tranquility, good food and cold beer run by a Belgian fella and his son, so we stopped there for a couple of nights and chilled by the pool during the day.



























Really nice place to chill out the next day around the pool and caught a perfect sunset that evening..

Went to Jepara which is a couple of hours up the coast.

A mate of mine lived in Jepara and worked at the power station there. Now i know why he liked it there!

The resort looks nice. Any more beach shots?

I have some but didn't upload them to photobucket... beach was ok nothing special, water quality same, hence why the OV resort was such a draw with having a jetty.
I haven't been impressed so far with beach quality in Indo, Bali was
I'm going to Lombok and Gillies in August so hoping for some tropical paradise settings there.. but not holding my breath.

Anyway... final lot of pictures for this thread.
Woke up to a beautiful morning where the clouds above the local peaks had cleared revealing them in all their glory. Time to head off to another famous temple location, Candi Gedong Songo, a Hindu site dating from the 8th century which comprises of 7 groups of shrines dotted along a trail that winds up the side of a mountain, legend has it that some people can see 9 temples... wasn't the season for it I think, but the mountain air was wonderfully cool, the weather was great and the climb was not too demanding.


































That's all until next time...
