Avoid being a pedestrian in Java!

Can it get any more touristy in Java? We guess not. The central Java attraction are the attractions most visited by tourists coming to Java. And of course by us.

The two important temples are "World Heritage Sites" and thus can actually not be missed, although the entry fee is horrendous and everything else as well.

Vulcano "Merapi" supposed to be one of the most active ones in Java (although I remember the guidebood saying this about nearly every vulcano in Indonesia ;-) ) was not only INactive but also hiding timidly behind clouds! So actually he got the title: "currently most boring vulcano we experienced in Indonesia so far" :-) ... and we told him so! Ha!

Also the Indonesian tried to make the worst of the local transport possibilities: the local buses had holes through which you could see the road below and were overtaken by bicycles, the night-train gave its best with bright neon-lights in order to become a "day-train" again :-( and walking on foot through indonesian cities (not even talking about crossing streets as pedestrian!!!) is suicidal at least and reminds you of playing "Russion Roulette" all the time.

But we managed to survive all the struggles and can now provide you with the pictures.
Hope you appreciate our effort for you :-).

Best regards, take care and see you soon!
