Once I eventually drag myself away from Pangandaran. I find
myself in Yogyakarta, the last stop before my 10 day vipassana course Klaten.
It was so tempting to stay in Pangandaren with Shannon and Kurnia and have my
non Christmas at the beach. Still if the meditation does not work out I tell
myself I can always escape back to the beach.
After the peace and tranquillity of Pangandaran, Yogyakarta
is an assault on the senses. There are too many people squeezed into too
smaller space. And this is a tourist hub and so has all the trappings that come
with that. We explore and shop and generally try to enjoy our last days of
freedom before the meditation and silence descends.
