Javana Spa Indonesia is famous for its spas. So, yes we did, we took a four-day break at Javana Spa, an idyllic spot, about three hours south of Jakarta.

First morning, up at 5.30 am for a walk through the jungle to waterfall 1. Hot ginger tea to encourage us.

Healthy lunch! Crispy cheese sticks were standard fare.

A favourite - the onsen. Outdoor open air pool fed by sulphur springs from the volcano.

A rare moment of relaxation in between the nature walks, exercise and spa sessions.

Early morning stretch before the hike to waterfall 4.

Yes he did. The water falling on your back is said to be therapeutic.

Me too. Briefly. Definitely invigorating.

Hard to beat isn't it?

Great pool but we just didn't get round to fitting in a swim.

Last run through for the pipers from Singapore.

Life is good Back in Spain after our month in Jakarta, the coritijo beckons. We've made a start on shifting some of our belongings up though have not slept there yet. The temptation is to just sit and admire the view! Down at the apartment in Salobrena, work is underway painting, but not so frantically that we don't have time to admire the sunset.
