Yono took us to the Sultans Palace and Water Palace and Vredeburg museum. He also showed us Malioboro Street but we took a pass on the batik and silver and any shopping as this is the end of our trip to Asia and we are haggled and shopped out. Enjoyed the Palace but don’t go on Friday if you want to hear the music and see the dancing.
