Sunrise at Borobudur

We arrived at our hotel, located on the grounds of the temple at 3:30 a.m. (Yet another unique travel experience, found only in Indonesia). We requested the sunrise tour and were awakened at 4:30. I slept in my clothes, since I knew if I changed I'd never want to get out of the bed. The "sunrise tour" consisted of a young man handing us a flashlight each and leading us to the entrance of the temple. We climbed the ten-terraced building in the dark, but it was worth every step.
