Above is the link to the Picasa album of the photos I took on the train today from Jakarta (didn't see much except very basic hotel, though not sure I'd call it that, so won't comment) and yogyakarta. The countryside is incredibly green with tiered rice paddy fields. As I was traveling on the executive train there was none of the usual 'hanging out of the door to take a photo' so i'm afraid they were taken through the window and aren't the best. You can still get an idea.
I love how in India and also here it is totally normal to paint your house bright marshmallow pink, possibly with mint green or purple window frames.
I am now staying at the Delta Homestay which is the lonely planet pick for my price bracket (budget) and I have to say it is very nice. The price has gone up slightly since the lonely planet (obviously) but there is a large pool, free wifi, free breakfast and a western loo (currently bracing myself for a re-introduction to the other kind).
