On this episode of our Streets and Eats podcast, we talk about our last trip before the pandemic hit. It was to the exotic and amazing island of Java in Indonesia. We enjoyed temples, palaces, and the food. It was a fantastic trip.

Right before the world shut down because of the pandemic, Jim, Devon, and I took a jaunt over to Java after stopping over in Kuala Lumpur for a few days. Traveling in Asia is always fun, and we started out in the lively city of Yogyakarta, then moved on to the amazing temples of Borobudur and Prambanan. Java is not an island with many foreign tourists and except for a the two big sights, we hardly saw any other foreigners at all.
We loved wandering the busy streets of Yogyakarta, eating from street stalls, looking for the best treats, and enjoying the people. We took a cooking lesson, visited a couple of palaces and were just enamored with it. We can’t wait to go back.
