New Tourist Attraction (Day Two,16/3/2011)


Wakey, wakey. Another long tiring day for exploration.

Started off our journey at 8am, local time and soon we reached Jawa Tengah aka Centre of Jawa.
The driver pulled over and shown hubby the Chinese cemetery. There's a lot of Chinese residents in Yogyakarta from the look of the graves.
The driver stopped at the new tourist attraction area where the eruption of Mount Merapi occurred. The white Avanda car was the car rented during our trip.
Look at the height of the volcanic ashes covered almost to the roof top.
Piew-Sze and hubby were at the top of the ashes while I'm finding difficulty into getting up but soon was given a hand by hubby.
The river with high and thick volcanic ashes on both sides.
We were here on the soil to witness the eruption of Mount Mount.
This river was overflown to the roadside when the eruption occurred and caused massive blockage of traffic flow.
Don't play,play with what nature can do to us.
Everything were destroyed
What remained were only the volcanic ashes.
Nature washed down from the river that build the height and not by man made.
Passed through narrow road and rural area to get to Dieng Plateau.
Along the way, wide plantation were found too.
This is the mode of transport that the locals get to and back from work.
Finally, the destination of the day, Dieng Plateau.
