Climbing Borobudur to the top

Continued from Walking to Borobudur.

So now you can at least see what it is all about.

But in order to truly appreciate it you must climb all the way to the top.

Mind you it could take some energy to do that. This look back shows how far we have to walk and then climb up just to get to this point. And the entrance to this world heritage site is much further in the horizon.

We still have quite a distance to climb.

Taking a breather. For the record this place is called Candi (temple of) Borobudur.

Built some time in the 8th century AD it is believe to be a place of ritual for Buddha practitioners.

At this juncture we should be halfway up.

A look down...

And yeay, finally we have reached the top.
