Yogyakarta and Ambon City

Asia-Indonesia-Yogyakarta  This Monument is right in the centre of Yogyakarta. It is a great base to explore the surrounding areas and the World Heritage Sites. 

Purchased this stamp at the Post office in the city . 

Asia-Maluku-Ambon-Kota Ambon  Not that easy to get to and also known as the Spice Islands. I had  hoped to get to the Banda Islands but the schedule did not work out. These Islands have  beautiful Mountains and great scenery. Unfortunately here there had been religious conflict and many of the Churches were partly burned or damaged. 

Posted in Ambon City where I stayed.  A large efficient Post office .

World Heritage Sites in Indonesia

Asia-Indonesia-Borobudur   On the Island of Java . One of the very best World Heritage Sites I have ever visited. Really breathtaking when you see Borobudur for the first time. Spent many hours here enjoying this wonderful site. 

Went to the local Post office and as such a Borobudur postmark. I have been informed that there is in fact different rates in Indonesia for posting, depending on where you are sending from. I wonder does this happen in any other country? 

Asia-Indonesia-Prambanan  Another gem of a place and a World Heritage Site  to visit. You can see why this part of Java has so much to see. Indonesia is also very cheap compared to other countries to visit in relation to day to day costs. A very vibrant country. 

I think I posted this in the main Post office in the nearest city. I had brought most of the stamps with me from the Philatelic section in Jakarta. 

From Munich to Jakarta

Europe-Germany-Munich  My first time to use this airport as a connection . Very good and easy airport to get around. 

There is a Post office at the airport. 

Asia-Indonesia-Jakarta  The Capital of Indonesia  I had passed through here before but never stayed . So spend a few days here seeing this city. Lots to see and bigger then I had anticipated. 

Great visit to the large Post office here. Very well organised and a separate Philatelic section. Lots of stamps to choose from.
