Dream Vacation
I recently found an article on a heavenly resort on the island of Java. This resort, Amanjiwo, instantly became my "Dream Vacation Destination." I am quite sure you will agree that this is a paradise on earth. |
On the right you see the main structure of this resort, which contains the main lobby and a restaurant. Click the pix for a larger image (97K). |
This two-bedroom suite is called "Dalem Jiwo" which in Javanese means
"an aristocrat's small palace." The bed in this room is strategically
place so that when you sit up in bed, you will see.....

..... Borobudur, Java's great Buddhist momunent, rising above the coconut groves and rice paddies that lie between it and the resort. You can almost feel the moist tropical air from this picture. (Click - 92K) |
Believe it not, this suite comes with its own private 66-foot-long pool with a rotunda at one end. No, the woman at the stairs is not me. I wish I were her. <sigh> |
This is the view of the same pool from the other end. See how peaceful it is? Definitely my kind of place. (Click - 68K) |
This is a close-up view of the rotunda overlooking the private pool. There is a traditional Javanese daybed where you can rest and snack on after a good swim. (Click - 75K) |
Amanjiwo is about 1 hour drive from the closest airport in Yogyakarta.
My dream 2-bedroom suit, alas, costs $1,600 US per night, the cheapest
suite at $460/night. I need to win a big jack pot with lottery..... |
