Lets hunt the Golden Sunrise in Dieng Pleteau.

Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy

(Hey, what up girl?)

Grab up my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city

(Let's go)

Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack

'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back

I'm sorry for (very) late post because I'm quite busy :p.

Alright this part I would like to tell about how awesome my last sunrise hunting in Dieng. We have to get up early morning around 4 A.M and brace your self and get freeze!! HAHAHAHAHA.

Today we start our day for hunt the sunrise in "Gunung Sikunir" we go with a motor bike that we rent in the first day, the condition of the street when we go to Sikunir was pretty dark with no electricity along the way, so be careful !!! It only takes 15 minutes from our home stay to Sikunir and definitely you have to hiking until the top of Sikunir but don't worry because it takes 30-40 minutes to the top but if you often to hiking maybe you will reach it only 15-20 minutes. At that day unfortunately the weather was not too good, cloudy and drizzle we feel it from home stay but we just through that early morning hopefully we still able to see.

BUT............

We just see nothing, misty, misty, and misty. I thought it would be better at 6 or 7 A.M and it was not. So we decided to go back to home stay. But if you wanna see the best picture maybe you can see it in TRIPADVISOR or another source. 

So, next destination is........................... CANDI ARJUNA. 

Candi Arjuna is one of Temple in Dieng, the place quite nice and convenience, luckily we visited Dieng in low season so not too crowded. The entrance ticket was included to the first ticket that I told you before at Freezing in Dieng Pleteau . So you should not pay for the entrance ticket.

The Entrance Gate.

There is a wells in the left and right. Every August or Sura in the Javanese calendar,This place used for held mass "Ruwatan" procession (It is kind of cut the dreadlocks child off, it was special phenomenon so find it out on google :p ).

Still on Arjuna Temple Complex we found something nice inside..HAHAHAHAHAHA Here it is...

This is actually a grassland and no one there, so we just got something picture wakakakak..

And this is the cutest lamb that I ever see, usually u will hard to see this kind of lamb, I don't know wat the name of that kind :p

After that short journey we decided to go to view point of Dieng, we can see village view from there that was nice and we enjoy coffee and tea in one of great friendly and cheap "warung". Sun goes down and the trip is end because tomorrow we will continue our trip to KARIMUN JAWA ISLAND!! Wait the stories fellas~~~~~~

Try your "NetherIndo" taste in BLOEMEN Kedai Rumah, Bandung

Bandung always famous because of the awesome food and drink, you can get what you looking for or something that you never try before, food is equally important, and many cafes, resto, warung, (or whatever) definitely know how to serve up brilliant meal.
Now I will tell you one of my favorite place to have a brunch or tea time but actually it would be OK if you want to lunch or even dinner. The resto named "Bloemen Kedai Rumah".

The first impression of this resto is so "Holland-taste" the building and even the furniture and also the environment bring me to Netherlands-era in 19 century of Bandung city.

The gate

Cashier

if you see, there is a mini bar inside.

The range price start from Rp. 10.000 ($1) - Rp. 80.000 ($8) and they have a reasonable price definitely, and here the food and beverage that ordered by me.

Potato lovers? Try this!!! It was totally great! BAKED POTATO!! The potatoes just melt in my mouth and covered by best cheese sauce. awwwwww....

And the fresh MOJITO MINT.

I ordered those stuff because I just have a meal in another place and just wanna chill out (tea time) in the middle of a hectic working day. But if you wanna try another food that would be great especially the Lamb Steak and another steak. 

This corner is the best space for me, you can also use that piano anyway. ;)

Over all this restaurant was great I LOVE IT! So do not be hesitate to try this 'KEDAI'.

Freezing in Dieng Pleteau

Huoooo finally after finished my study in last semester I'm HOME!!! Well this trip I go with someone crazy that I ever told you before in last post in last trip to PAPANDAYAN Mt. yap Tito Taufik

Its kind of pops up in our head to visit this awesome place where peace will be everlasting  *Lebay*. But, let me tell you first about Dieng.

Dieng Plateau is a marshy plateau that forms the floor of a caldera complex on the Dieng Volcanic Complex near Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia. Referred to as "Dieng" by Indonesians, it sits at 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level, far from major population centres. The name "Dieng" comes from Di Hyang which means "Abode of the Gods". Dieng is truly adode of the Gods because you will feel there is no problem, feel safe, feel so comfortable, and it was damn full of tranquility INDEED!

Ok, We start my journey from Bandung, We go to Cicaheum Terminal then take a bus to Wonosobo its take cost about Rp. 70.000 and tooks 10 hours journey wkwkwkwk quite long that the reason why we go on the night approximately bus will off on 19.00 W.I.B. We just took a seat then SLEEP until someone wake me up, and just realize we just the only one passenger in that bus 

The driver ask us where we gonna go and Tito told him just drop we off on Plaza Wonosobo. Then 05.00 AM we arrived in darkness day *Lebay again* hahaha. Oke feel so damn hungry and we found a love Gudeg in the front of Plaza that was the best Gudeg that I ever had. Unfortunately i forget took the picture of the warung but if I'm not wrong the name is GUDEG BU JINAH *definitely strange ya hahaha*. But if u get off in Plaza Wonosobo make sure u see them, its quite crowded even in a really early morning.

Alright, lets continue the journey after had a great meal in early morning I took a micro bus to Dieng here the bus.

it isn't mine, coz I didn't took the pict of the bus

It's took 1 hour and we get off in the terminal of Dieng peoples call it "Homestay BU Djono" a lot of people stay there, but we are not! HAHAHA Tito had another idea to stay and we stay in HOME STAY PUSPA INDAH that was great and also nice, water heater, wi-fi, so really clean and the important things is excellent services. The housekeeper was nice she just help a lot of things especially when I need quick laundry and also perfectly clean!

Ok, after arrived, we just get in the bed and took a nap. Well, the weather was perfectly nice for sleep hahahaha. And after 12.00 PM we woke up and take a shower then ask the housekeeper where we can rent a motor bike. And she gave us what we need and we got the motorbike its only Rp. 150.000 for 2 days. And we start our journey in Dieng. First destination is Sikidang Crater (Kawah Sikidang) the weather not too good, drizzle all day long.

Anyway now its kind of new regulation that we have to pay Rp. 18.000 for the entrance ticket of all destination in Dieng. So keep the ticket carefully!!!

Yap, the weather not too good so we go back to the parking area where a lot of warung there. We order some nice stuff there. The legend of Potato Wedges and Purwaceng.

I really love it!!! Its only Rp. 5000 MUST TRY!!!!

And this is purwaceng, not to special for me and actually bandrek from Bandung was better then this one, a glass of purwaceng Rp.10.000

After that we go to the caldera people called Telaga Warna. That was nice if the sun shine perfectly shining. Ah ya! We have to pay extra Rp. 5000 for get in.

After that we decided to back to he homestay because its gonna be heavy raining. And we think where we gonna go because its still 15.00, and we go to Wonosobo HAHAHAHA it was sudden planning!!!

So, when the rain getting benign we go with the CRAZY MISTY!!! And without helmet -,-

at 18.00 we decide for stop to the restaurant that sold Mie Ongklok, it was my favorite food in Dieng after the potato but unfortunately Tito can't ate it because he has a allergic of shrimp (the sauce of the noodles mixed with shrimp). And after that we continue our journey to find the point of City, and we just realize how small Wonosobo hahahha. And we just hard to find any supermarket. And we asked someone where the supermarket and someone told us there is a supermarket named RITA and beside it there is Mickey Mouse HAHAHAHAAHAHAH WHAT THE FU THE NAME OF THE SUPER MARKET HAHAHHAAHHAHA. Well we didn't go to that place and finally we decided to bought some stuff in Indomaret which is normal! hahaha

After that we found a coffe and bread shop that sold WEDANG RONDE and SKOTENG, I told Tito direclty "STOP!!! Ada wedang ronde! Gambarnya bagus! Mau" and he stop the parking wkakakakak.

its only Rp. 12.000 SO damn cheap!!!!

Left: Wedang Ronde, Right: Skoteng. That was totally strange because they put EMPING in to those stuff. Its different with usually wedang or skoteng. But its so cheap only Rp. 6000 and not bad!!

Well, That stuffs closed our first day journey. And we back to Dieng with freeze driving in the night! So crazy trip and we take a rest directly because the second day we have to wake up really early morning to hunt the sunrise!!!!

-------- TO BE CONTINUED-----

After we had a rest for a while we continue the track, and feel damn hungry! RICE RICEEE WHEREE!!! But on the way to the camp shelter we had a problem! Raining was come and as ALWAYS I had a problem with that shit condition as usually, but I tried to be fine but actually when the misty come everything gonna bad

We just wrong when we decide for did not make a tent first here the bad things come

Well, raining is come and everything bad for me, everythings wet, everything was cold, and hard t breath as always , and I checked my stuffs just prepare my sleep 'equipment; and hell no I was forget bring my sleep pants, feel bad, had no idea for that, how fool I am !!!

But, Tito told me "I had 2! Long and short and u can wear the long one" you know! SHOCK! And I just make him sure that he will gave it to me, and it was really happen! I had bad (actually not too bad) condition here. But, I still tried for make it better even nothings better . And I just change everything and had a sleep for a while and control my self and breath because this is our first trip together and I don't wanna make it bad. I got really better with the dry and warm pant that Tito gave. 

Night finally come and (I don't know who) decide to cook inside the tent , kind of trauma because i had experience about cook near a tent wkwkwkw. Alright let me tell you what we had in this trip

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Batagor, Vaggies Soup, and I don't know 

We face the cold night with a cold feeling, I can't think or remember what I was doing in that time, I just  know that I was hard to sleep and breath. 

I just waiting the sun woke up and in REALLY EARLY MORNING Eja wake me up for see the sunrise and when I woke up and see the sun everything has change to better thing.Here's the sun!

SELFIE TIME MUST BE EXIST 

 After got the sunrise we back to the camp well might be someone wonder where is Tito? Tito was sleep! He just ignore us to see sunrise together, He told me that he tired and sleepy so I just let him enjoy his selfie time hehehe. Well, we just move faster then before just in case would be raining again so we just cook, eat, and packing.

As I told you that SELFIE MUST BE EXIST 

Ya ya ya, move faster faster! And after everything has done we finally BACK! Take a steps with another energy. And here our CILEPEUNG TIME in the middle of tracking. OK, actually reason why we take a picture here is because I wanna had some pictures of me wear my lovely Jacket that Ibu gave to me, and suddenly Tito say "ME TOO! I wanna take a picture with my new BERGHAUS Jacket"  And here we are......

I took this pict because for make Ibu happy that I wear it and looks awesome with The North Face with Primaloft Tech HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fufufufu...

And here the damn moment, I laugh here accidentally because Tito just did something fool and say to camera "YEUH YEUH! URANG GE JAKET ANYAR BERGHAUS YEUH TAH PAMER SAKALIAN DITUNJUK BRAND NA" Well, let God and Indonesia ppls who understan sundanese who knows this sentence 

After that we continue the track and finally we met the lovely car that bring us to PAPANDAYAN MOUNTAIN. I really enjoy this trip hope it not the last. Hope we have another 'Silent Trip'.
