TUES: FX MALL & YOGYA

Slide inside the FX Mall

Hit the gym in the morning.....my roomies think I'm a bit obsessed with the gym.....not even! Back up to breakie, pack then off to FX Mall just a short walk down and across the road. This mall had an enclosed slide from the top floor running to the bottom......wow!

It was amazing - another nice mall with one whole floor dedicated to kids. It had educational learning centres, play areas, shops, even a water world and outside play space as well as an indoor entertainment space. There was a shop called Animalia where you can make your own stuffed animal - all the animals looked liked they were skinned hanging up. Besides that it was the cutest thing.......Marie and I had to do that.

After looking around the other floors at the shops and tried to get into a spa for a massage......didn't work, we had kaikai really nice and tasty as. Then it was a short walk back to the apartment to finish packing. 

Things to pack when going to Yogya - bug spray, antibacterial sanitizer, wipes, good walking shoes, dress clothes for dinner and an endless supply of a sense of humour.

Had an hour trip to the airport then an hour flight down to Yogya. We were met by Amir out awesome driver that took us everywhere and who would be our personal guide during our stay. 

The hotel d'Omah is situated in Tembi an hour drive from Yogya airport. Not your average hotel, this is a boutique spot in the heart of Tembi village. Very tastefully decorated with art and local crafts. All locals are employed and trained and the grounds are spread out so that you don't get the feeling that you're cramped. It's spacious and it was a nice stroll in the gardens to our rooms.

Our rooms connected to a private pool area. Stunning rooms, comfortable beds and lovely furnishings. Aircon and fans in the rooms. The one thing I liked besides the private spring pool was the bathrooms - Euro style wharepaku and an open air shower with live plants with all the stone tiles. Everything smelled divine hard to believe this is so reasonably priced!!! Good thinking Yvonne, we LOVE the d'Omah.

Private pool just outside our room doors.

Lovely rooms - just outside those double doors is the pool
