The it’s time to visit a pharmacy: I’m in desperate need of something for my sore throat: So I get something similar to Dobendan, but way stronger – my whole mouth gets numb taking one of these. Crazy.

That taken care of, we can get on our way to the UNESCO world heritage Borobudur. Compared to Prambanan you have a bit longer ride to get there: First, we get into the Trans Jogja Bus 2B (3000 IDR (0.21 USD)) to Jombor Bus Station.
