Scenery along the way to Dieng Volcanic Complex, also called Dieng Plataeu, is a complex volcano. Our highlight for today.
A complex volcano is an extensive assemblage of spatially,temporally and genetically related major and minor volcanic centers with the associated lava flows and pyroclastic rocks. ( Don't ask me for details, I copied this.) Dieng is situated around 2000m above sea level and 100km away from Borobudur.
The name Dieng means "abode of gods". We can find restated temples build around year 800, colorful lakes and steaming crater. Terrace farms are everywhere along the way up to the plateau.
驱车往丽颜高原途中，梯田处处，风景如画。
位于海拔2000米，气候凉爽。'丽颜' 当地人称为 ' 神之住所 '。这里有建于公元800 的神庙，景色迷人的湖 以及一群冒烟的火山口。

It's 2.30pm in the afternoon. Way passed our lunch time and it's raining cats and dogs. Most shops were closed on this Christmas day. We're feeling cold and really hungry now. How I wish I could have something hot to eat like a bowl of noodles?
Just when I was thinking of noodles, we passed by a shop with lots of people queueing outside in the rain. This one ought to be good! Our instinct told us.

4.45 -- Reached Borobudur in slightly more than an hour.
There is only one hotel in the park where Borobudur is and it's fully booked long before we started our Jawa trip. I couldn't believe how Lady Luck has been smiling to me throughout this whole journey. Due to some technical reason, there is just one room vacant, as if it has been reserved specially for me!!
终于抵达婆罗浮屠。
