We spent all day on our tour to the Archeological sites of
the
Majapahit
Hindhu kingdom. We left the
3 million people in Surabaya to
drive into a countryside of rice, sugar cane, and assorted other fruits and
vegetables. We had a police escort because even the freeways are bogged down by
slow moving trucks and numerous scooters. We started at the Trowulan
Architectural Museum.
We were entertained by local dancers who shared a welcome dance followed by a
dance to fight evil spirits.
Then we saw Buddhist and
Hindu statues as well as reliefs from the temple. The museum was filled with
kids on school trips, they were excited to say ‘hi’, high five, and wave with
foreigners.
