Taman Sari or Water Palace in Jogjakarta

Well, after the wonderful palace of the Sultan which left us marvelling, our guide took us to another marvellous water palace for us to marvel

Such a wonderful sultan who has his family and kids at heart, he thought of a watery playground for himself (to choose his wives for some "fun play") for his wives (to frolic) and for his kids (to swim)

 wow..lots of wading, swimming and paddling pools for a happy extended family 

 There are two buildings in the bathing complex. The northernmost building was used as the resting place and changing room for the daughters and concubines of the sultan. On the south side of this building is a pool known as Umbul Muncar. The pool is divided into two by a central pathway (known as Blumbang Kuras) that runs east-west. The next building on the south is a building with a tower in its center. The right wing of the building was used as the sultan's changing room, the east wing was used as his resting place. The central tower was used by the sultan to observe his daughters and concubines bathing in the pool.^[18][19]
