Older than Borobudur, built around AD 800, it is located less than two miles away and is an impressive archaeological site in its own right. Examine carvings that depict scenes from Buddhist literature along with Indian morality parables on the exterior, as well as a rare Buddha statue seated on a chair within the temple itself. Return to the hotel for breakfast as the crowds start to arrive and spend the rest of the day at leisure to relax or explore by yourself.
