Round Java Island -- Day 2

5.30am -- Morning has broken ..... 天亮的好早。

Woke up in a lady's soft voice selling, hmmm....no, no, not roses but " susu segar...susu segar...." ( fresh milk! )
在一声声轻柔的叫卖声中醒来。

Sorry, sorry, I just could dare take the risk buying milk stored in a thermal flask.
很多这种流动小贩一大清早便忙碌找生计,在绵绵细雨中撑着伞叫卖。水瓶中装有热奶与咖啡。

Eating apple at the balcony while wiating for breakfast. 坐在阳台上看人做买卖。鼓不起勇气买来尝尝,只好啃个苹果充饥。


Can you see another lady selling milk at the bottom left corner? So many of them coming in and out in an early cold morning despite the drizzle. Competition is intense. The Indonesian ladies are very hard-working.

7.00 am -- So, we had breakfast at the hotel's cafe.
酒店咖啡厅用早点。

8.00am -- Walked to Pancaran 3, meaning " Fountain-3 ".
步行到第三瀑布游览区。

Baturraden tourist attraction lies in the south foot of Mount Slamet at an altitude of about 640m above sea level. Recreation park in Baturraden nature presents quite mountains and valleys dotted with waterfalls and hot springs. Mount Slamet in 3428m altitude, is the largest volcano and highest mountain to-2 in Jawa.

I told you they are really very hard-working and clean! You don't see cleaner scrubbing a steel bridge like this in our country. One of my friends saw this and commented: Management of any of our parks will just let it rot and change a new one, instead of keep it in good condition. Hmm... How wasteful we are.
在我国,何时见有人如此用心擦洗这种铁板桥?

Interesting ...
木制的摩托车与脚车,惟妙惟肖。

Satay stall !! You probably have seen this in the 60s or 70s.
六七十年代的沙爹小贩就是如此。

跳!!

View a film on Tsunami in this old aircraft.
旧机身摇身一变,变成放映室。我们在里面看了一部有关海啸的记录片。

Drove to Pancuran 7 through a pine forest. The road is narrow and steep. We have to help by pushing the car up !
离开第三瀑布,驱车到第七瀑布,途径一座松林。

But, to no avail ! So all of us got off the car, leaving only the driver to do the job.
路好陡斜。我们怎么帮忙推也推不上,只好全部下车,减轻重量,让司机一人空车而上。

Finally we arrived. Walking down to the hot spring waterfall. Along the way tried to buy some durians but the deal didn't go through.
终于到了。想买些榴连可是价钱谈不合,只得作罢。

Enjoying the scenic beauty and fresh mountain air.
好舒畅。

Amber-liked secretion from the tree. 有点像琥珀的树脂,好美。

Here we are ! The hot sulfuric spring ' Fountain -7 '.
温泉从七个孔冒出来。水中的硫磺把岩石都染黄了,形成色彩斑斓的奇景。

Enjoying a warm foot massage. Very enterprising !
脚底按摩,生意兴隆 !

Trust me, this is really hot !! Steaming hot !
热到冒烟。

Even like this also feels hot !
真的好烫脚!

Beautiful, aren't they?
漂亮的小菇!如舞孃的百折裙,也像精灵的小伞。

12.30pm -- Checked out. lunch at a local restaurant with fishing facility.
离开旅馆,继续我们的行程。在一家附设钓鱼场的餐厅吃午饭。

Yummy. A different experience.
别有风味。

I like the colours.
鱼儿花儿,相映成趣。

No, no, this fish is not from the pond.
别看它不起眼,滋味可口极了。

2.30pm -- After a leisure lunch, heading towards Wonosobo. Travelling in the rain.
饱餐一顿后,细雨中继续我们的行程。

4.30pm -- Arrived at ' Duta House' , our home-stay for tonight.
在 Wonosobo 大街上兜了两圈,方才找到我们今晚的住所.

Wow! What a surprise awaiting us. It's a house full of antiques and a Harvey Davidson! The owner's mother even served us afternoon tea with pisang goreng upon our arrival. 这是一家民宿,非常舒适温馨。大家第一眼就爱上了它!纷纷说今晚不出去了,要在此用晚餐。可惜主人家不提供这服务。

We were charged only Rp30,000 for a night stay here. Recommended for those who wants to travel here.

Everyone enjoyed the stay here. Really made ourselves at home.
真的把这里当成自己的家了。

7.00pm -- Christmas eve. Went to a cantonese restaurant name 'Asia' instead, for dinner. Saw two paintings on the wall on Dieng plateau, a place where we were going to visit the next day. It was a love at first sight! I didn't know why but just felt wind blowing towards me when I saw the paintings.
今晚是平安夜,我们竟然到一家中餐厅吃晚餐 !不过这家餐厅可大有来头,是这里历史最悠久的,有超过50年吧。

These are the oldest Hindu Temples on Java, older than Borobudur.
一进去就看到这两张油画,有种异样的感觉。原来明天我们就会到哪儿去。

And the colourful lake.

Some interesting photos telling stories of the old owner of this restaurant.
餐厅主人旧照。

11.00pm -- No one stayed up for Christmas Eve. We rested well in this cozy home-stay which's the biggest surprise of today !
今天行程最大惊喜就是入住这家超棒民宿。一夜好眠。
